Journeyman Commercial Kitchen Installer

You already know the trade. We'll pay you for knowing it.

We're growing the install division and looking for an experienced installer — someone who can run a job without being walked through it.

$21–$24/hour
, based on what you bring. Overtime available. Paid every other Friday. We have a defined pay ladder and we promote off it — raises come with skill, not with time served.

Daily per diem, tax-free, on your card the day you leave — not reimbursed later.
Your own hotel room
, single occupancy.
Crews travel in a company vehicle — you don't put miles on your own or pay for fuel.

You've worked places where the plans didn't show up and the truck wasn't stocked. Here's how it goes here.

Plans get pulled before the job. Daily inventory is checked against the install. Specs and submittals are reviewed against what's actually on site, not assumed. The crew gets picked up and the day's expectations get set before anyone touches a tool. Trucks are maintained on a schedule. Per diem is dispersed to the crew, not chased down afterward. Status and job-site hours close out before the shift ends.

If that reads like basic competence, good. It isn't universal, and you already know that.

Travel is required. No exceptions.

Arizona and the surrounding Southwest — mostly Nevada, New Mexico, and Southern California, occasionally further. Monday through Friday, roughly half the month, with occasional weekend work. About 45 hours on travel weeks.

There is no local-only version of this job. If that's a deal breaker, we'd rather not waste your time or ours.

Tired of outage work? Six weeks on, four weeks waiting, no benefits, no ladder. This is steady year-round W-2, 401(k) with 6% match, and somewhere to go from here.

Crews here are two to four people, usually three. You'd travel with the same guys and own the job start to finish. Family-run outfit, and it runs like one — we hire people who stay.

Hoods and wall flashing. Walk-in panel systems, doors, seals. Cook lines set, leveled, anchored. Millwork, casework, booth and seating scribed to field conditions. Stainless field welds and polishing. Off placement drawings, specs, and rough-in dimensions. Punch list and turnover.

Restaurants and chain rollouts, hotels and resorts, casinos, stadiums, airports, hospitals, schools and universities, fire stations, military and government, industrial dining, design-build concepts.
No two the same.

• 3+ years hands-on in construction or a skilled trade.
• You read drawings and work to tolerance without supervision.
• You can be away overnight, Mon–Fri, about half of every month.
• Valid license, clean record, own hand tools.

All four, or this isn't the one.

Previous construction or trade experience is required. Commercial kitchen experience is not — that part we'll teach you.

• 3+ years in a finish trade — commercial kitchen equipment, walk‑in refrigeration, millwork and cabinetry, casework and fixtures, booth and seating, stainless fabrication, or commercial remodel.
• Confident with placement drawings, specs, and rough-in dimensions.
• Strong with hand and power tools; forklift and scissor lift.
• Has led a crew, or been the person everyone asks.
• Valid license, clean record, insurable.
• Own basic hand tools — we provide every large and specialty tool including welders, plasma cutters, and lifts.
• HS diploma or GED, or equivalent military or practical experience.
• Lift 70, push 100, ladders and lifts, active construction sites in any weather.

You don't need kitchen equipment on your resume. If you've run millwork, casework, fixture, or commercial remodel crews, the skills carry — drawings, tolerances, scribing to field conditions, finishing clean. We'll teach you the equipment.
