The results above are the live Rhode Island search. Confirm the actual job location and duties in each posting; a statewide filter can include broad or neighboring-area results.
Workplaces and duties
Supermarket, foodservice, and cold-storage jobs can be local or part of a southern New England route.
Systems and qualifications
Ask whether the work is grocery rack service, walk-ins, restaurant equipment, or a fixed warehouse system.
Territory and schedule
A compact home state can still involve Massachusetts or Connecticut calls. Confirm territory, parking, and toll policy.
Before you apply
Ask how after-hours supermarket alarms are assigned and paid.
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.
