• Identify root causes of equipment failures and provide long-term repair solutions
• Complete detailed service documentation and communicate findings with customers
• Work safely while maintaining exceptional workmanship and customer service
• Mentor less experienced technicians as needed

• 10+ years of commercial or industrial HVAC experience
• Extensive experience servicing boilers, chillers, RTUs, and large mechanical HVAC systems
• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills on complex mechanical equipment
• Experience working in healthcare, hospitals, nursing homes, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, universities, or institutional buildings
• Working knowledge of hydronic systems, pumps, VFDs, cooling towers, and commercial control systems
• Experience with Building Automation Systems (BAS) is a plus
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• EPA Universal Certification required
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

What We Offer

• $40-$55/hour based on experience
• Full-time, year-round work
• Health Insurance
• Paid Time Off
• Paid Holidays
• 401(k)
• Stable customer base with long-term commercial accounts
• Challenging mechanical work on large commercial and industrial systems
• Supportive team environment with opportunities for continued technical growth

Ideal Experience

We're especially interested in technicians with backgrounds working for mechanical contractors or service companies specializing in:

• Hospitals and healthcare systems
• Nursing homes and assisted living facilities
• Central utility plants
• Industrial and manufacturing facilities
• Universities and educational campuses
• Large office buildings and institutional properties

If you're an experienced mechanical HVAC technician who takes pride in solving complex equipment issues, enjoys working on heavy commercial and industrial systems, and wants to be part of a team that values technical expertise over sales, we'd love to hear from you.
