Job description

Benefits:
  • Bonus based on performance
  • Competitive salary
  • Paid time off

Stop Trading Time for a Dead-End Paycheck
Most "entry-level" jobs are a trap. They offer no specialized skills, no upward mobility, and a hard ceiling on what you can earn. You're just a number in a giant corporate machine. At City Appliance, we do things differently. We are a fast-growing, local team looking for one motivated individual to train from the ground up into a Master Appliance Technician.
The Opportunity: Why This is Different
We don't just give you a job; we give you a recession-proof trade. We have grown 20-30% every year for the last four years, and we want you to grow with us.
  • Zero Experience Required: We don't care if you've never touched a dishwasher. We care about your hunger to learn and your ability to solve problems.
  • Paid Professional Training: We invest in you from Day 1. We pay for your EPA certification and provide hands-on mentorship until you are 100% confident.
  • No Corporate Red Tape: You'll work directly with the owner, not a regional manager in another state. Your voice matters here.

The "Grand Slam" Benefits (The Offer)
  • Competitive Start: $17.50-$25/hour during your 3-6 month training phase (based on experience).
  • The Six-Figure Path: Once you're solo, you move to a performance-based model where you can realistically earn $60k-$100k annually.
  • Lifestyle & Autonomy: No mandatory weekends. Once you're trained, you manage your day.
  • Smart Routing: We focus on staying in a zone. We value your time and prioritize efficient routes so you spend your day fixing things, not sitting in soul-crushing traffic.
  • Future Growth: As we expand into new markets like Austin, our early hires are the first in line for Lead Technician and Service Manager roles.

Who You Are
This isn't for everyone. We are looking for a specific type of person:
  • The "Fixer": You've always been the person who takes things apart to see how they work.
  • The "Problem Solver": You have the stamina to stick with a tough diagnostic until you find the "Aha!" moment.
  • The "Professional": You take pride in your appearance, your tools, and how you treat people's homes.
  • The "Hustler": You're eager to learn, reliable as a rock, and ready to build a career you can be proud of.

The Simple 3-Step Plan
  1. The Chat: Apply today. We'll have a quick 10-minute phone call to see if our goals align.
  2. The Ride-Along: Spend a few hours in the field with us. See the work, meet the team, and make sure it's the right fit for you.
  3. The Launch: We get you certified, get you your tools, and start your journey toward mastery.

Ready to Build Something Real?
Don't be another face at a faceless company. Apply today and let's keep our community's homes running smoothly, one repair at a time.
How to Apply: Send your resume to info@cityappliance.com or call (512) 428-8308 to speak with our service manager.
Compensation: $17.50 - $25.00 per hour
As an appliance repair technician, you'll work with anything from dishwashers to microwaves to dryers. In other words, you'll need to be fairly knowledgeable about large appliances, portable appliances, mechanical work, as well as electrical work.
You'll deal with more than just appliances, though, as a repair technician, you'll have to deal with people, too.
Appliance repair technicians must also have skills in high mechanical aptitude, have impeccable written and verbal communication skills, work adeptly with repair tools, be okay with lifting heavy machinery, and of course, be incredibly skilled in troubleshooting problems.
