HVAC Laboratory Validation Technician

Grow your craft on 2nd shift while helping expand our test lab through 2026

Picture this: it’s 1:55 PM, you badge into a climate-controlled lab, and your bench is set for a new round of HVAC validations. By 2:00 PM, you’re into the rhythm—configuring instruments, confirming calibrations to ISO 17025 practices, and preparing a unit under test for a full performance run. You collaborate with project engineers, capture precise data, and spot anything that looks off before it becomes a nonconformance. Your shift wraps at 12:30 AM, well after rush-hour, and your four-day workweek leaves you long weekends to recharge.
