About this role

Working as a Service Technician for The ICEE Company in Houston means maintaining and repairing the frozen beverage and food service equipment that keeps restaurants, convenience stores, and other venues running. You'll handle everything from frozen carbonated dispensers and fountain equipment to ice makers and juice systems, responding to dispatched service calls and performing both preventive maintenance and repairs. The role requires you to work largely independently between weekly team meetings, managing your own schedule and vehicle while staying in close contact with your supervisor about customer needs and any upselling opportunities.

This position demands strong mechanical skills and the ability to diagnose problems quickly and accurately. You'll need a high school diploma and a valid Real ID driver's license, with a technical or vocational background preferred. The job involves significant driving—more than 40 percent of your time—so comfort on the road is essential. You'll also attend a mandatory two-week training program at the ICEE Academy (typically in Tennessee) early in your tenure to become certified in equipment service and repair.

The company provides the tools you need to succeed: a company vehicle, gas card, cell phone, tablet, uniforms, and all necessary equipment. Benefits include health insurance, paid time off, a 401(k) plan, technical school tuition reimbursement, and life insurance. This role suits someone who is self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working with minimal supervision while maintaining strong communication with both customers and colleagues.
