## Who we are

CloudKitchens helps restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery - our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality, and convenient for everyone.

We take underutilized properties and transform them into smart kitchens so they can better serve restaurateurs, customers, and the neighborhoods they’re in. Every time we launch a new facility, we create jobs in that neighborhood, and we’re proud to provide a wide range of cuisines and options for healthy food at an affordable price.

We're changing the game for restaurateurs, whether they’re entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant, all the way through to your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains.

## Why this role is different

This isn’t a typical handyman job bouncing between unrelated work orders.

- Work on modern, standardized commercial kitchen facilities
- Consistent environments → faster repairs, less guesswork
- Mix of hands-on repairs + preventative maintenance + facility support
- Independent work with support from experienced teams when needed
- Clear path to grow into Senior Technician or Facilities Management roles
- Be part of a fast-growing operation supporting a massive, evolving industry

## What you’ll do

Facilities Maintenance & Repairs

- Perform general repairs across multiple sites, including:
- Drywall, patching, and painting
- Tiling and basic masonry
- Shelving and equipment installation
- Floor repairs and upkeep
- Exterior maintenance (roofs, gutters, landscaping)

Preventative Maintenance

- Conduct routine maintenance on building systems:
- HVAC
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- Identify issues early and prevent costly breakdowns

Site Operations Support

- Travel between multiple sites(number of sites vary by region) throughout the week across the Greater Bay area
- Troubleshoot and resolve day-to-day facility issues
- Partner with internal teams to keep kitchens fully operational

What your week looks like

- 60% hands-on repairs and maintenance
- 25% preventative maintenance
- 15% inspections, troubleshooting, and support

## What we’re looking for

Required

- 2+ years of handyman, maintenance, or facilities experience
- Basic knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, field-based role
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

## Preferred

- 3+ years of commercial facilities maintenance experience
- Experience in restaurants, hospitality, or multi-site environments
- HVAC/R experience or trade school background

Work Environment & Schedule

- Field-based role across the Greater Bay Area
- Local travel between sites (home daily)
- Monday–Friday schedule
- On-call rotation and overtime opportunities

## Why join us

- Demand for online food delivery is growing really fast! In the last 5 years, just in the US, the overall market has expanded 10X from $10B to $100B, and could expand to $500B- $1T by 2030.
- Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery.
- Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customer’s success.

## Compensation & Benefits
