Repair & Maintenance Technician

Repair & Maintenance Technician - Fifth Group Support Center

The Repair & Maintenance (R&M) Technician is responsible for the repair and maintenance of all Fifth Group Restaurants' equipment and building systems. This includes kitchen equipment (electric and gas cooking equipment, refrigerated equipment, work tables, fabricated items), mechanical systems (including plumbing fixtures, grease traps, HVAC systems, Kitchen Exhaust Hoods, gas lines) and all other facility related items (electrical, painting, lighting, flooring). Locations of work include a central support office, an event facility, multiple restaurant locations, a catering production facility, as well as a fabrication warehouse and shop.

The technician will occupy their time responding to service tickets as requested by store managers, chefs, and supervisors. While much of the technician's time will be spent in an unsupervised activity, dispatching and oversight will come from Facilities Maintenance Manager, ultimately reporting to the Director of Facilities. Many tasks will involve working with another technician, so strong teamwork is a must.

The R&M Technician will be responsible for upkeep of a valid GA driver's license, as traveling between locations regularly is mandatory at all times.

R&M Technicians should have their own tools, and working knowledge of HVAC/R, simple mechanical systems, and basic electrical safety.

The technician will be communicating throughout the day with a variety of personnel including restaurant managers, chefs, corporate representatives, and vendors from various trades. It is imperative this employee demonstrates excellent communication skills and a highly professional demeanor.
