This role will focus on training professionals on the maintenance and operations of heat pump equipment for public buildings.

Contract Opportunity:

We are seeking one or more experienced Heat Pump Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Trainers to design and deliver hands-on, practical training for municipal facilities staff across the Bay Area. This is a contract-based engagement ideal for a seasoned HVAC professional who is knowledgeable about heat pump technology and is comfortable training others virtually and in-person.

Key Responsibilities:

You will develop and facilitate training sessions focused on the operation and maintenance (O&M) of Heat Pump Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems installed in municipal facilities. Specific responsibilities include:

• Designing curriculum tailored to the needs of facilities staff working in public buildings such as libraries, community centers, office buildings, and public safety facilities
  
• Delivering engaging training sessions that build real operational confidence—not just theoretical knowledge
  
• Covering topics such as day-to-day operations, preventative maintenance, controls integration, load management, and key differences from conventional gas-based HVAC systems

o Air-source, ground-source, or water-source heat pumps

o Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems

o Heat pump chillers

o Air handling units paired with heat pumps

o Packaged heat pump rooftop units

o Beyond equipment familiarity, strong candidates will have a solid understanding of how electrified HVAC systems differ from gas-based systems—including load management strategies, controls integration, and maintenance considerations unique to heat pump technology. We are especially interested in candidates who can speak to these differences from lived operational experience.

• Experience with Municipal & Public Sector Facilities - Direct experience working in or with government-owned buildings is a significant asset. Ideal candidates have:

○ Experience specifically with Bay Area jurisdictions is highly valued, though not required

• Training & Communication Skills - Comfortable designing instructional content and leading sessions for working professionals, including:
  

o Developing training materials (slide decks, job aids, hands-on exercises) that translate complex technical content into clear, actionable guidance

o Facilitating group training sessions in a way that engages participants and invites questions
