About the Role Northern Pizza Equipment is looking for a hands-on, motivated Equipment Technician to help restore and rebuild commercial kitchen equipment used by restaurants across Michigan and beyond. You'll work alongside a skilled production team through every stage of the process, from disassembly and cleaning to refinishing, reassembly, and final inspection. No prior commercial kitchen equipment experience is required. If you're mechanically inclined, enjoy working with your hands, take pride in quality work, and are willing to learn, we'll provide the training and mentorship to help you succeed. This role is a great fit for someone with a background in mechanical work, automotive, manufacturing, construction, maintenance, or another hands-on trade, or anyone who enjoys fixing, building, and figuring out how things work. What You'll Do Disassemble commercial foodservice equipment and accurately inventory parts and components. Clean equipment frames, assemblies, and individual parts using mechanical and chemical cleaning processes. Inspect components for wear, damage, or defects, and identify parts that need repair or replacement. Refinish and restore surfaces through painting, polishing, and other finishing processes. Reassemble equipment to company standards and perform basic operational testing. Document work time, materials used, and project progress. Safely load, unload, and move equipment. Assist with equipment deliveries and installations at customer locations. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area while following company procedures and safety guidelines.

Willingness to work overtime as needed, including occasional overnight travel. Previous experience in repair skills, or another hands-on trade is a plus.
