Maintenance Technician

We are San Antonio's largest dry cleaning and laundry company. Our plants and stores run six days a week, and our equipment has to run with them. We are adding to our maintenance team and looking for a Maintenance Technician to service equipment and facilities across all company locations.

You do not need dry cleaning experience, and you do not need to be a seasoned maintenance technician. If you are mechanically inclined, reliable, and want to learn a trade, we will teach you our equipment and pay for outside training and certifications. You will learn hands-on with support from experienced techs, not on your own.
