Job Description

About Us

Setpoint Refrigeration is a proudly family-owned and operated company, serving Manitoba's transport and logistics industry since 2000. We specialize in the inspection, maintenance, repair, and installation of both

refrigerated units and transport heaters

, helping fleets stay temperature-controlled year-round--from freezing prairie winters to peak summer heat.

With over two decades of hands-on experience, we've built a reputation for honest, professional, and dependable service. As demand for reliable cold-chain and temperature-sensitive transport continues to rise, we're committed to providing our customers with safe, efficient, and well-maintained fleets they can count on.

Why Setpoint?

At Setpoint, we offer exclusive hands-on training in

transport refrigeration

--a niche skill you won't find in any college or Red Seal program. Our technicians work with brands like

Carrier, Thermo King, and Zanotti

, and receive paid, manufacturer-certified training that's

not available to the public

.

Whether you're a mechanic looking to specialize, or someone with a strong mechanical aptitude who's eager to learn, this is your chance to build a

career in a trade that's always in demand, but rarely taught

.

What Makes Us Different from HVAC or Trailer Shops

We don't just fix things. We

specialize

in something schools don't teach--

transport refrigeration

.

Here's how we stand out:

? Not Traditional HVAC

No rooftop units or building systems. No trade school or Red Seal path required. You won't be one of hundreds of grads competing for the same HVAC jobs.
? Not Your Typical Trailer Shop

We don't perform trailer overhauls, fix brakes, or rebuild suspensions. Our work goes beyond mechanical--it involves

diesel, electrical, and refrigeration systems

all in one.
? What We Do Offer

Hands-on training in Carrier, Thermo King, and Zanotti reefer and heater units.

Brand-certified training programs

you can't get in school or online. A clear path to

become a specialist

in a niche field that's always in demand. Work on real fleets, mobile service trucks, and high-tech equipment.
This is not an apprenticeship--but it's a real trade path with skills that make you hard to replace and easy to promote.

No tuition. No competition. Just real skills.
