Welcome to the latest installment of Fresh Water’s “who’s hiring” series, where we feature growing companies with open positions, what they’re looking for and how to apply.

Overdrive Espresso
The first time Marko Vukelic walked into a Starbucks after coming to the United States five years ago from Croatia through a student exchange program, the philosophy major was in awe over the large espresso machines.

“I wondered who services those large, boxy machines,” he says. Then two-and-a-half years ago while searching a for a job as handyman, Vukelic answered an ad on Craigslist for an espresso machine technician at Phoenix Coffee. “When I started, I had never held a screwdriver in my life,” he recalls. But Vukelic traveled all over the country for training and soon became the only espresso machine technician in the area. “I didn’t have a day off for a year after I started training,” he says.

Vukelic had a knack for servicing the large machines, and soon other coffee shops were calling on Phoenix to service their machines. In July 2014 he bought the business from Phoenix and renamed it Overdrive Espresso.

The company and Vukelic have thrived, servicing machines for places like Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, as well as smaller companies all over Northeast Ohio, upstate New York, western Pennsylvania and even Vermont.

Overdrive Espresso has become so successful, Vukelic needs help. He has one technician but he needs six to seven more technicians. The job requires a lot of driving – up to five hours a day – and a willingness to learn the trade. Vukelic will provide the training. Ideal candidates will at least be familiar with hand tools and have a basic knowledge of electricity and plumbing.

Once training is complete, the right employee will get a service vehicle and a cell phone. Candidates must have a perfect driving record and no criminal record. “I pay well, but you have to understand the nature of the business,” Vukelic says. “This is not a nine-to-five position and you have to be on call 24/7.” Employees are also expected to stand behind their work and own any mistakes.

For more information or to submit a resume and cover letter, contact Vukelic.
