Job Description

Job Description

Picture Your Week

You touch down at a client site, open your toolkit, and bring a new chiller online. You fine‑tune parameters so the system runs as designed, verify safeties and controls, and walk the customer through performance benchmarks. The next day, you diagnose an electrical fault, log test results and parts, and collaborate with a project manager to close out a punch list. Later in the rotation, you join an advanced training session to stay sharp on new diagnostic tools and energy‑efficiency practices. Then you head home for meaningful time off—predictable, every cycle.
