Job Summary
Are you a dependable, hands-on professional who likes working independently and being rewarded for your hustle? FluoroFusion Specialty Chemicals is looking for a driven Route Development & Site Technician for one of our satellite locations. You won't be starting from scratch—this location has an established book of business and a solid customer base. Your job is to take care of our current customers and aggressively expand our footprint.
This is a hybrid role: part hands-on site operations and part route management. You will be the face of FluoroFusion in your territory, running our cylinder exchange program and hunting for new sources of used and recovered refrigerants. Because this is a satellite location, you will be in regular, direct contact with the Regional Manager and Director to ensure you have the support you need to solve problems fast. Safety is a core objective of this role; you must maintain an uncompromising standard of safety in all operations. If you are a competitive, hard-working individual who thrives on exceeding targets, building relationships, and taking home commission for your results, we want you on our team.
Key Responsibilities
Safety & Operational Excellence:
- Make safety the absolute core objective of your daily work. Adhere rigorously to all safety protocols, DOT regulations, and company procedures, reporting any concerns immediately.
- Demonstrate expert knowledge of products and equipment, particularly the safe handling of pressurized tanks.

- Take pride in your workspace: ensure the uncompromising care and maintenance of the facility, tools, equipment, and truck, keeping them organized and in excellent condition.
- Load and unload the service truck daily with gas cylinders and supplies, utilizing a liftgate and pallet jack safely and effectively.
Territory Growth & Route Management:
- Take ownership of an established route, managing daily scheduling, customer pick-ups/drop-offs, and ensuring timely, reliable service.
- Actively identify and pursue relationships with mechanical contractors, HVAC&R service companies, scrappers, recyclers, and other potential suppliers of end-of-life refrigerants to grow your territory.
- Aggressively prospect and promote the FluoroFusion recovery cylinder exchange program to increase the volume of refrigerant acquired through your site.
- Build and maintain a pipeline of used and recovered refrigerant sources, driving growth for the Oklahoma City location and increasing your commission potential.
