Service Technician
Aramark
Shelbyville TN 37160 US
Who We Are
Best Beverage Equipment Service (BBES) is our owned service organization dedicated to keeping some of the most visible beverage equipment in the field running at peak performance. Our technicians are specialists, not generalists, trusted by customers to diagnose, repair, install, and maintain commercial beverage systems that power offices, hospitality, convenience retail, and foodservice environments.
Backed by the resources, stability, and benefits of a Fortune 500 company, BBES technicians enjoy the autonomy of field work with the support, training, and tools needed to do the job right.
The Role
The BBES Service Technician is a highly skilled, field-based role responsible for servicing, installing, and maintaining commercial beverage and related foodservice equipment at customer locations. Unlike traditional service technician roles, BBES technicians dispatch directly from their homes, manage their own routes, and are expected to operate with a high level of independence, professionalism, and technical expertise.
This role requires strong mechanical aptitude, comfort working across electrical, plumbing, and refrigeration-adjacent systems, and the ability to represent BBES and our customers with confidence in the field.
