Turn Your Refrigeration Experience Into a Specialized Career

LRS is growing, and we're looking for a Service Technician with refrigeration experience to join our laboratory equipment service team.

Mechanical troubleshooting ability

Basic electrical troubleshooting skills

Experience using gauges, meters, vacuum pumps, recovery equipment, and common service tools

Even better if you have:

90-Day Compensation Review

We want to reward technicians who learn quickly and become productive members of our service team.

Your compensation will be reviewed after your first 90 days based on technical progress, reliability, troubleshooting ability, and your ability to perform service calls independently.

Schedule

Monday–Friday | Full-Time

Most work is performed during normal business hours. Overtime opportunities are available. Local and regional travel is part of the position, with occasional out-of-town work.

Why LRS?

This isn't another residential HVAC job.

You'll be working on specialized equipment that supports medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and scientific research. We'll take the refrigeration skills you already have and train you to work on equipment that many HVAC technicians never get the opportunity to service.

As our service division grows, we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us and become a key member of the LRS service team.

If you're mechanically inclined, know refrigeration, enjoy figuring out why equipment isn't working, and want to learn a specialized trade, we'd like to hear from you.
