Reinforcing safe work practices, quality standards, and effective service procedures
Sharing technical knowledge and helping strengthen the team’s overall capabilities
Maintaining accurate service notes, repair documentation, and follow-up information
Coordinating effectively with dispatch, customers, leadership, and other technicians
Participating in a rotating emergency on-call schedule, including nights and weekends

Experience with chillers, boilers, commercial refrigeration, building automation, or advanced controls is highly valued, but we do not expect one technician to be an expert in every system.
A high school diploma or equivalent is required. Completion of an HVAC trade-school program, apprenticeship, manufacturer training, or equivalent technical education is preferred. Comparable advanced commercial field experience will also be considered.
