Start a Foodservice Equipment Technician Career
What Does a Foodservice Technician Do?
A foodservice equipment technician installs, repairs, and performs maintenance on commercial kitchen’s cooking and warewashing equipment. Equipment such as fryers, ovens, grills, and dish machines are the backbone for many businesses and commercial kitchens. Therefore, break downs or a unit not working efficiently can cause many problems. Businesses rely on knowledgeable techs to install their equipment properly, keep it running smoothly and repair it when needed.
High Demand for Skilled Foodservice Equipment Technicians
Like many other trade careers, there is a shortage of skilled workers entering the foodservice equipment industry. With a large portion of the trade’s workforce reaching retirement age, there is a need for more young people in the foodservice equipment industry. Additionally, the constant need for foodservice equipment in day-to-day operations for all commercial kitchens leads to a high demand for skilled techs to keep the equipment up and running. This is especially so in the rapidly expanding and developing areas in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Perks a Foodservice Equipment Technician Career:
- Plenty of room for advancement.
- Paid training and certification opportunities
- Median salary is $50,590 per year but top earning techs exceed $100,000 per year.
- Little to no student loan debt. Scholarship opportunities are available through organizations such as CFESA.
