About Us
The Seals of Boston is an essential commercial kitchen maintenance service provider specializing in refrigeration gaskets, oven seals, walk-in cooler hardware, door closers, and custom cutting boards.

We are launching our local operations and looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Installation Technician to work directly alongside the business owner. This role starts part-time and offers a clear, rapid runway into full-time leadership as our recurring route accounts scale across the territory.

- Hardware & Handyman Repairs: Perform minor door adjustments, hinge alignments, door closer repairs/replacements, and custom cutting board installations.
- Site Inspections: Conduct routine equipment inspections, photograph unit tags/serial numbers, note equipment defects, and report findings via our mobile field service software.
- Client Engagement: Interact professionally on-site with restaurant general managers, executive chefs, and facility directors.
- Route & Inventory Management: Travel between customer locations across the territory with organized tools and installation materials.
What We Provide & Compensation
- Comprehensive On-the-Job Training: Direct, 1-on-1 field training side-by-side with local leadership—we will teach you the trade, tools, and installation techniques on actual job sites from day one (no prior commercial kitchen experience required).
- Vehicle Mileage Reimbursement: Generous per-mile reimbursement (standard IRS business rate) to cover fuel, maintenance, and vehicle usage for all travel between client sites.
- Tools & Equipment: All required hand/power tools, measurement equipment, smartphone/tablet app access, and branded company apparel provided.
- Consistent Schedule: Daytime weekday schedule (Monday–Friday) with no late-night or emergency overnight on-call shifts.
- Growth Opportunity: Opportunity to gain valuable hands-on trade skills and grow with an expanding local service business.
Requirements
- Reliable Personal Vehicle: Must have a dependable personal vehicle (pickup truck, SUV, van, or large hatchback preferred) capable of transporting basic hand tools, hardware, and gasket rolls between job sites.
- Valid Driver’s License & Clean Record: Valid Massachusetts driver’s license and an active personal auto insurance policy.
- Mechanical Aptitude: Comfort using basic hand and power tools (cordless drills, screwdrivers, utility knives, heat guns, measuring tape). Prior experience in general handyman work, facilities maintenance, carpentry, or appliance repair is a plus.
- Physical Capability: Ability to bend, kneel, squat, climb ladders, and lift up to 50 lbs comfortably throughout commercial kitchen environments.
