Job Description
Proline | A Division of HPC Foodservice | Full-Time | Union Position
Teamsters Local 671 | Starting Rate: $29.05/hr | Avg. Annual Earnings: $79,000
Who We're Looking For
If you can walk into a commercial kitchen, size up a piece of equipment you may have never seen before, figure out what's wrong with it, and fix it, we want to talk to you. Proline technicians work independently in the field, build real relationships with customers, and take genuine pride in keeping professional kitchens running. This is skilled work, and we pay accordingly.
The Proline Technician 1 is our highest field technician classification. If you have the skills and the work ethic, there's also room to grow into training, mentorship, and leadership over time.
Compensation
Starting Rate: $29.05 per hour
Average Annual Earnings: $79,000 (includes overtime)
Overtime Pay: Available and consistent
On-Call Bonus: Paid when in rotation
What We Provide
- Company vehicle
- Company cell phone and tablet
- Tool stipend
- Service uniforms
- Full medical and dental benefits
- Life insurance
- Paid time off (PTO)
- Fully funded Teamsters pension. Proline contributes on your behalf with no employee contribution required.

What the Job Looks Like
Most days you'll drive your company vehicle to three or four customer locations, diagnose the problem, get it fixed or order parts as needed, and move on. Our customers include restaurants, schools, hotels, grocery stores, country clubs, and healthcare facilities. You'll handle everything from routine preventative maintenance inspections to emergency service calls. No two days look exactly the same, and that's part of what makes this work satisfying.
This is a full-time position that includes participation in a shared on-call rotation for after-hours and weekend calls. On-call weeks are distributed across the team, and you're compensated with a bonus when it's your turn.
What We're Looking For
We'll train the right person. That said, here's what puts you ahead:
- Background in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or any mechanical trade
- Experience working on commercial cooking equipment such as ovens, combi ovens, or fryers
- Strong communication skills and a professional, respectful approach with customers
- CFESA certification or training
What we require:
- High school diploma
- Valid driver's license
- Ability to lift 75 lbs
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DOT Medical Card
- Basic English, math, and computer skills
If you make the short list, you'll complete a technical skills assessment as part of the interview process.
