We started Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in a yellow truck on the streets of NYC in 2008 with a mission to make good ice cream that makes you feel good.

Nowadays, people can spend so much time on what’s “healthy” they don’t stop to consider what’s healthy. As far as we’re concerned, happiness is healthiness. We strive to ensure every scoop, store and employee feels and creates one community to contribute to the overall brand.

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is hiring a full-time Facilities Repair and Maintenance Technician to join our Store Development team! This is a great opportunity for an experienced individual to support over 40 Van Leeuwen locations. The ideal candidate is someone who is experienced in multi unit retail support, is organized, hands on and resourceful (and loves ice cream!).

Our Facilities R+M Technician will report directly to the Director of Facilities. While we are based out of Brooklyn, NY, this role will cover the NY Metro area including New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. This is a full time, field based position requiring the flexibility to work off hours including weekends depending on operational needs and scheduled maintenance.
