The results above are the live Louisiana search. Confirm the actual job location and duties in each posting; a statewide filter can include broad or neighboring-area results.
Workplaces and duties
Cold storage, food distribution, transport refrigeration, and commercial service use different equipment.
Systems and qualifications
Ask whether the posting is for a stationary system, a refrigerated trailer or truck unit, or a store walk-in; match the required electrical and mechanical experience.
Territory and schedule
New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and coastal routes can have different call distances. Check the home base and travel terms.
Before you apply
Confirm whether diesel or transport-unit work is part of the refrigeration assignment.
Match your experience to the refrigerant, equipment, controls, and repair duties named in the posting. EPA Section 608 certification matters when work could release regulated refrigerant from an appliance; it is not a blanket credential for every role.
For ammonia systems, ask about site training and safety duties. OSHA process-safety requirements depend on the system and its ammonia quantity; confirm the facility's requirements.
Compare base pay with overtime, shift premiums, call pay, travel time, vehicle, tools, and training.
