Maintenance Technician

Keep Chuck-A-Rama Running

Behind every Chuck-A-Rama restaurant is a lot of equipment, systems, and moving parts and our Maintenance Technician helps keep them all working. As a Maintenance Technician, you'll support our restaurants by performing preventative maintenance, troubleshooting equipment problems, completing repairs, and taking care of general building maintenance. You'll travel between Chuck-A-Rama locations, working directly with restaurant managers to identify issues and find practical solutions that keep our teams serving guests with minimal disruption.

This is a hands-on, independent role that's a great fit for someone who enjoys fixing things, solving problems, and having something different to work on every day.

What You'll Do

A typical day may include:

• Performing scheduled preventative maintenance at Chuck-A-Rama locations
• Troubleshooting and repairing restaurant equipment and mechanical systems
• Inspecting and testing equipment to identify potential problems before they become larger issues
• Completing general building repairs and maintenance
• Responding to maintenance requests from restaurant managers
• Diagnosing problems and determining the best approach for repair
• Completing assigned maintenance projects and restaurant improvements
• Helping coordinate outside vendors or specialized repairs when needed
• Keeping tools, equipment, parts, and supplies organized and ready for use
• Maintaining accurate records of maintenance and completed repairs
• Communicating repair status and recommendations with restaurant and company leadership
• Prioritizing maintenance needs across multiple restaurant locations
• Following company safety procedures and completing work safely and efficiently
• Helping ensure our restaurants and equipment remain safe, reliable, and ready to serve our guests

What We're Looking For

Great Maintenance Technicians don't just fix what's broken—they notice potential problems, think through solutions, and take pride in keeping things working the way they should. We're looking for someone who:

• Is comfortable traveling between restaurant locations
• Is available for occasional travel to our outlying locations, including St. George, Boise, and Idaho Falls
• Has flexibility to respond to operational needs outside of their normal schedule when necessary
• Restaurant equipment or commercial facilities maintenance experience is a plus, but we're most interested in someone with strong troubleshooting skills, mechanical aptitude, and a can-do approach to solving problems.
