Service Technician

Service Technician — Commercial Refrigeration, HVAC & Foodservice Equipment Experienced. Independent. Trusted on our most demanding accounts. Market: Sarasota | Bradenton | North Port Full-Time | Field-Based | Healthcare & Foodservice Focus Not Every Technician Gets Trusted With These Accounts Coastline serves the customers who can't afford downtime — healthcare facilities where refrigerated medication and clinical equipment failures aren't an inconvenience, they're a patient safety issue, and national foodservice brands where a broken walk-in or a down combi-oven stops revenue the moment it happens. We're hiring an experienced Service Technician who can walk onto any one of those calls — refrigeration, HVAC, or foodservice equipment including combi ovens — and diagnose and repair it independently. No ramp-up period, no hand-holding. If you've spent years earning that kind of trust in this trade, we want to put you in front of the accounts that deserve it. What You'll Be Doing Full-scope diagnosis and repair across commercial refrigeration (walk-ins, reach-ins, ice machines), light commercial HVAC, and foodservice equipment — including combi ovens and other combination cooking platforms Servicing healthcare and foodservice accounts where uptime is mission-critical and documentation standards are high Working independently in the field — you own the call from diagnosis to completion, not just a checklist Preventative maintenance and warranty work alongside emergency repairs Direct coordination with your Regional Service Manager and Parts/Procurement on part sourcing and complex repairs Representing Coastline as the technician our national accounts specifically request back What We're Looking For 3+ years of hands-on experience across commercial refrigeration, HVAC, and/or foodservice equipment repair — combi oven experience is a strong plus EPA Certification (Type II or Universal) required; CFESA certification (or strong desire to pursue) strongly preferred Proven ability to diagnose and complete repairs independently, without constant supervision Comfortable working in healthcare environments — background check and any facility-specific credentialing requirements are part of the role Own hand tools; valid driver's license with an insurable driving record Strong communication skills — you'll be the face of Coastline in front of demanding, high-stakes customers What matters as much as your technical skill is how you carry yourself on a call. We look for: Extreme Ownership — you own the outcome of every call, not just the task list Relentless Pursuit of Excellence — you're still sharpening your craft, not coasting on experience High Integrity — customers and teammates can take your word at face value Magnetic Personality — someone healthcare and foodservice clients are glad to see show up Compensation & Benefits We pay hourly, with overtime opportunities, and pay is directly tied to performance.
