Lead HVAC Technician / Field Operations Lead

JOB SUMMARY
The Lead HVAC Technician supports daily field operations by performing advanced service, repair, and maintenance on residential and light commercial HVAC systems while providing leadership to the technician team. This role serves as the primary field lead, ensuring high‑quality workmanship, strong customer experience, and smooth coordination between technicians, dispatch, and management. The Lead Tech also steps in to oversee service calls, resolve escalations, and support operational workflow when needed. As a lead technician here, you won’t be stepping into a rigid, corporate environment — you’ll be joining a growing, founder‑led operation where your voice actually shapes how we work. We’re building this business from the ground up, and the people who join early will help define our standards, our culture, and the way we serve the Tri‑Valley community. It’s a startup environment backed by the stability, systems, and national brand recognition of One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning — the best of both worlds for someone who wants to grow, lead, and be part of something from day one.
