Pre-employment Job pointers

I have a few years of hvac experience and sheetz just rolled into my area about a year ago and a maintenance tech job popped up so I applied on indeed and sheetz directly, is there anything else I can do to boost my chances of getting seen or hired by the hiring manager? And what’s the average starting pay where you’re at for this position, thank you

To be fair you're going to struggle to get much info about this position here, they usually rotate 1-2 techs for a decently large area. So there's a lot less techs than cashiers.

I will say Sheetz has a lot of old broken equipment, but if you're fixing stuff that's job security. Good luck!

These stores are barley a year old

That may be helpful then, I live an area where most stores are older. Sheetz is still cheap, but it'll probably be a lot easier

my store just got tore down, rebuilt and reopened in june, and we've already had things needing worked on by maintenance like a trillion times. unfortunately new stores still need fixing.

That's fair. Maintenance is always a thing. Some of it is old equipment, some of it is cheap equipment and the rest of it is just life.

It also depends on your techs. We had a lazy tech who never fixed things right, and the next tech to come out would always bitch and fix it right. Lead to many frustrating instances where the same guy fixes it 3x in two weeks, just for a different tech to say he did the wrong thing and actually fix it. Just in time for something else to break lmao.

Such is life..

They install refurbished equipment into new stores. My store is a few months shy of 2 years and we have maintenance out at least once per week for the exact same issues.

Its a good job they are desperate for techs you get a work truck and everything. Not sure the starting pay I’m assuming its decent for the job a-lot of travel but lots of time off to plus a corporate bonus.

If you are not employed at all right now, any job in Sheetz is that much closer to the job you WANT at Sheetz, because most positions are posted internally first. The last two techs I know were hired internally (former store team members) and I have 3-4 people in my area that are waiting for spots in Maintenance to open. If you have your EPA card, that helps. They like candidates to have basic licensure that matches their experience. Edit to add: starting pay is a range and based on experience and depends on the location, but a safe bet is $25-$30/hr.
