  • Identify root causes of equipment failures and implement corrective actions to minimize downtime and reduce recurring service issues.
  • Respond to equipment service needs across assigned restaurant locations and prioritize repairs based on operational impact.
  • Maintain accurate service records, documenting repairs, preventative maintenance, parts usage, equipment condition, and recommended follow-up work.
  • Coordinate with restaurant managers and internal facilities personnel to schedule service visits and communicate equipment status.
  • Provide guidance to restaurant teams on proper combi oven operation, routine cleaning, care, and preventative maintenance practices.
  • Maintain an appropriate inventory of tools, replacement parts, and supplies needed to complete assigned service work.
  • Travel throughout Texas, including the Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio markets, as operational needs require.
  • Follow manufacturer specifications, applicable safety requirements, and established company procedures.
Required Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated technical experience with Rational Combi Ovens and/or Henny Penny FlexFusion Combi Ovens.
  • Ability to independently diagnose equipment issues and perform repairs with minimal supervision.
  • Working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, water, and electronic control systems associated with commercial combi ovens.
  • Experience performing preventative maintenance and identifying potential equipment failures before they disrupt restaurant operations.
  • Ability to manage service priorities and work independently across multiple restaurant locations.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, organizational, and customer service skills.
  • Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
  • Willingness and ability to travel regularly throughout Texas, including the Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio markets.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Manufacturer training or certifications from Rational and/or Henny Penny.
