Maintenance Technician II

Great food and great service only go so far if the walk-in's leaking, the fryer's down, or the front door won't lock. That's where you come in. Pressed Cafe is looking for a dependable, hands-on Maintenance Technician to keep our restaurants running safe, sound, and open for business.

You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Facilities Manager, maintenance, and restaurant teams across Massachusetts and New Hampshire — troubleshooting equipment, chasing down leaks, wiring in new outlets, and generally being the person everyone's relieved to see pull into the parking lot.

This isn’t a break-fix-and-bounce job. We want someone who spots the small stuff before it becomes the expensive stuff, and who’s building a real preventative maintenance program alongside us as we grow.

• Handle routine maintenance and repairs across Pressed Cafe locations — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, refrigeration, carpentry, the whole toolbox.
• Run regular restaurant inspections and flag deficiencies before they turn into problems.
• Troubleshoot equipment and building-system failures, then actually fix them.
• Tackle basic plumbing (sinks, faucets, drains, toilets, water lines), basic electrical, and basic HVAC/refrigeration work within your qualifications.
• Repair doors, hinges, locks, shelving, walls, ceilings, and flooring — and swap out lighting, switches, and outlets as needed.
• Answer the call when something breaks in an emergency, and knock out repairs during scheduled visits whenever you can.

• Build and run daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual maintenance schedules.
• Inspect cooking equipment, refrigeration, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and building components — spot trouble before it's a breakdown.
• Track recurring failures, recommend fixes, and keep clean equipment service records.
• Help stretch the life of our equipment, and know when it’s time to recommend replacement instead of another repair.

• Partner directly with restaurant managers and staff to resolve facility issues.
• Train teams on proper equipment operation and basic preventative maintenance.
• Keep communication clear on repair status and expected completion, and help minimize downtime.

• Be the go-between for Pressed Cafe, contractors, landlords, and service vendors.
• Coordinate specialized repairs outside your wheelhouse and keep an eye on contractor quality.
• Assist with warranty claims and flag contractor concerns to the Facilities Manager.
• Conduct facility inspections and deliver clear visit reports — completed repairs, outstanding items, safety concerns, and capital improvement opportunities.
• Jump into new restaurant openings and facility turnover inspections, plus construction and warranty follow-up.

• Dig into what’s driving up maintenance costs and find root causes for recurring failures.
• Favor fixing it in‑house over unnecessary outsourcing, and help spot capital needs before they’re emergencies.
• When something stops working, gets unsafe, or threatens operations — assess it, secure it, fix what you can, escape what you can’t, and document the whole thing.

• Solid working knowledge across the trades — carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, refrigeration, commercial cooking equipment, and general building maintenance.
• A troubleshooter’s brain: mechanical, electrical, plumbing, equipment — you can read a manual or a wiring diagram and get to the fix.
• Strong organization and time management; you can juggle multiple maintenance requests without dropping one.
• Comfort working independently, plus the people skills to explain a repair to a restaurant manager without the jargon.
• A safety‑first…
