HVAC Technician / Building Engineer

HVAC Technician / Building Engineer

Our client, a nationally recognized owner and operator of medical office properties, is seeking an experienced HVAC Technician to join the team at a premier medical office building in New Haven, CT.

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of HVAC operations at a single, high-profile facility while working for a stable organization that is investing heavily in both the property and its engineering team.
