Commercial Laundry Systems Installation Technician

A day in the life

You start with a dispatch in your inbox, load a well-stocked company vehicle, and head to a job site where a new bank of commercial washers and dryers is about to come alive. You review blueprints and wiring diagrams with the general contractor, verify utilities, anchor and level equipment, make the critical electrical, plumbing, gas, and ventilation connections to code, and commission each machine. Before you leave, you test performance, train staff on safe operation and basic maintenance, complete installation documentation, inspection checklists, and warranty registration, and communicate any top-level escalations to your Manager. Then it’s on to the next site, tools organized and parts inventory ready.
