Commercial Kitchen Systems Technician

Step into a day at CGL Companies

Start your morning by reviewing your CMMS queue and mapping out preventive work. You’ll move through the facility checking motors, engines, pumps, belts, and fans—tuning what needs attention and capturing everything in clear, timely work orders. Midday, a ticket comes in: a dish conveyor is stalling while a walk-in cooler is warming. You diagnose both quickly, applying your knowledge of gas and electrical appliances to restore performance and food safety. Before you wrap, you inspect completed work for code compliance, escort a subcontractor for a specialized task, and mentor a teammate on reading a new equipment schematic. You leave the space cleaner and safer than you found it.
