Job Description

Shape the Climate of a Global Leader

At Ashley Furniture, our facilities power a worldwide network of manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, retail, and corporate operations. To keep our people comfortable and our processes efficient, we rely on expert HVAC professionals. Step into a role where your technical skill directly supports safety, comfort, and productivity across large industrial and commercial environments.

What a Day Might Look Like

You start your day reviewing scheduled preventive maintenance in our computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). A rooftop unit needs a coil cleaning and filter change, a chiller is due for a refrigerant level check, and a VFD requires a parameter review. Mid-morning, you’re diagnosing an air handler with an electrical fault—working from wiring diagrams to isolate a failed contactor on a 480V circuit. After lunch, you fine-tune a building automation system sequence, calibrate thermostats, and verify setpoints. Before you wrap up, you log precise service notes, order a replacement compressor, and recommend an energy-efficiency upgrade for a high-usage zone.

What You’ll Do

• Install, service, and commission HVAC equipment—rooftop units, air handlers, chillers, boilers, and air distribution—aligned to specifications and local codes.
• Pinpoint mechanical and electrical faults; replace compressors, motors, fans, and controls; perform brazing, recovery, and charging with precision.
• Execute a rigorous PM schedule: inspections, lubrication, filter swaps, coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, and performance trending.
• Maintain accurate CMMS records and verify systems run within manufacturer tolerances.
• Troubleshoot motors, relays, contactors, and power distribution (120V–480V) using schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Install and program BAS components and digital controls, including thermostats, VFDs, and control panels.
• Service refrigeration systems (walk-ins, freezers, process cooling) while adhering to EPA refrigerant handling rules.
• Evaluate asset condition, recommend repair/replace strategies and energy upgrades, and manage parts and inventory.
• Work safely—follow OSHA, lockout/tagout, EPA Section 608 requirements, and use PPE correctly.
• Interpret technical documentation: electrical schematics, control sequences, and OEM specifications.
