The results above are the live Michigan search. Confirm the actual job location and duties in each posting; a statewide filter can include broad or neighboring-area results.
Workplaces and duties
Compare west Michigan food or produce facilities with Detroit-area retail, service, and distribution work.
Systems and qualifications
Ask whether the system is ammonia, a store rack, a chiller, or a walk-in; maintenance and field-service jobs call for different experience.
Territory and schedule
The lower and upper peninsulas are separate travel commitments. Confirm the base, route, and winter-call expectations.
Before you apply
Check whether the posting expects both refrigeration and broader facility maintenance.
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.
