Industrial Refrigeration Technician (Ammonia / R717)

Location : St. Louis, MO

Travel : Primarily domestic. Expect up to ~120 days / year ; trips are typically 5–12 days (overall range 3–15; may include weekends when timelines require). The company arranges flights, hotels, and cars; expenses are covered; tools / parts pre-staged or shipped. Travel is paid (separate travel vs. on-site rates), with overtime at time-and-a-half.

Install & commission ammonia refrigeration systems : mechanical fit-up, charge, verify safeties, tune setpoints, and complete turnover documentation.
Troubleshoot & optimize refrigeration (compressors, recirculators, evaporators, condensers, purgers, valves), electrical (3-phase, VFDs, sensors), and PLC I / O—on-site and remote.
Lead with safety : LOTO, gas detection, ventilation, PPE; familiarity with IIAR / PSM a plus.
Partner with customers : Train operators, document clearly, and recommend upgrades / parts.
Support the team at HQ between trips (phone troubleshooting, parts / bench work, project prep).

What you bring

Proven ammonia industrial refrigeration experience.

Strong electrical / mechanical fundamentals and ability to read P&IDs / schematics.

PLC exposure for startups / basic troubleshooting.

Clear communicator and steady problem solver.

Certifications : EPA 608 required; RETA CARO / CIRO and IIAR familiarity preferred.

Willingness to travel as outlined; passport helpful.

Why this role

Mentorship & backup : Pair with senior techs; 35-year engineer provides remote support.

Training : OEM factory classes + distributor-led training.

Culture : Family-oriented leadership that prioritizes weekend home time.

Compensation : Hourly + OT, with typical W-2s in the $75k–$100k range.

Benefits : 401(k) with 4% match; medical coverage with company-paid share; HSA seed; 3 weeks PTO from day one (4 weeks after 5 years).
