Des Moines, United States Sanco Thermo King Full time

Working at Thermo King is a hidden treasure. There’s no laying under heavy equipment with grease, grime and mud falling on you. Our technicians spend their days working on reefer units and APU’s where there are very few heavy parts. Our techs are relatively clean at the end of the day, have energy when they go home and are not worn out at retirement age. As one 25-year heavy diesel veteran said, “I wished I’d have come worked here 10 years earlier” We have a great culture and excellent training. You should apply today
