About the role

😎 Let’s Be Honest… Refrigeration isn’t “sexy”… Until everything crashes and you’re the one who saves the day.

If that hits? You’ll fit right in.


⚡ WHY GATEWAY MECHANICAL?

👉 We didn’t just build a team — we built a crew.

  • Long-tenured techs who’ve seen it all (and actually show you how)
  • Zero ego, all skill — knowledge gets shared
  • High accountability — you own your work
  • And yeah… we laugh. A lot

We work hard and get it done right


🛠️ THE WORK (AKA: NOT YOUR AVERAGE DAY)

This role is not just service — it’s service + projects + construction.

  • Heavy grocery store work (this is a must-have background)
  • Strong exposure to CO₂ systems-nice to have
  • Service calls, emergency response, retrofits
  • Project work + installs — you’ll build, not just fix
  • Travel across BC as required — not stuck in one lane

One day you’re saving product. Next day? On a project site leading installs.

👉 Real work. Real variety. Real responsibility.


👊 WHAT MAKES YOU “OUR KIND OF TECH”

This is a leader’s shop:

  • You step up — no waiting
  • You own it — start to finish
  • You think like the customer
  • You spot opportunities and act on them
  • You show up to win
  • You learn fast — and bring others with you

👉 You don’t just do the job — you raise the standard.


✅ WHAT YOU’LL NEED

  • Journeyman or strong Apprentice
  • Grocery experience — non-negotiable
  • CO₂ experience (or ready to get after it)
  • Comfortable with project work + travel within BC
  • On-call rotation
  • Valid Class 5 license

💰 WHY YOU’LL STAY

  • Autonomy — run your work, your way
  • Mentorship from experienced techs who actually mentor
  • A crew you’ll want to show up for
  • True mix of service + projects
  • Performance gets recognized — not ignored

🌄 AND YEAH… THE OKANAGAN LIFE

Let’s be real — this part hits too:

  • Lakes, boats, beaches — before or after work
  • Wineries, patios, unreal views
  • Trails, biking, golfing, skiing nearby
  • Long summers, big skies, zero grind-city feel
  • Live where people go to vacation

👉 Not just a job — a lifestyle upgrade.


🚀 THE BOTTOM LINE

If you:

  • Take ownership
  • Lead from the front
  • Want to get better — and make your crew better
  • And want real work with a crew that’s skilled and fun

👉 Apply.
