• Follow all safety procedures and best practices while working on HVAC, electrical, and refrigeration equipment at customer locations.

• Maintain and properly use basic personal hand tools, including gauges and meters, while utilizing specialized tools provided by the company.

• Experience with refrigeration systems, boilers, or chillers is a strong plus, especially if you bring specialized expertise in one discipline of HVAC.

• Ability to read and interpret blueprints related to HVAC installations and service is beneficial.

• Experience in installing HVAC or refrigeration equipment is an advantage, even though major installs are handled by a separate division.

• Willingness to start at a lower pay tier while being trained if you are a less-experienced S2 or D2 license holder.

• Strong customer-service mindset and the ability to represent the company positively at all commercial client locations.

Why Work Here?

You will be joining a growing organization that is actively expanding its service footprint across the state, creating meaningful opportunities for advancement as new sites and contracts come online. The company is planning for the future, with several tenured technicians approaching retirement in the next few years, which will open clear pathways for promotion and career growth for technicians who join now. With multiple multi-site RFPs underway and an increasing volume of service work, you can expect a stable workload, long-term security, and the chance to build your career as the team continues to grow.

Work Environment

This position is field-based and involves traveling daily to a variety of commercial properties, including elderly rehab and living facilities, auto dealerships, strip malls, stand-alone restaurants, and apartment buildings, with no residential work. You will work a first-shift schedule, typically from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Once fully onboarded, you will operate a company-provided service truck and use an iPad as your primary tool for receiving and completing work orders.
