Senior Technician - HVAC

Location: Southeast, FL (serving tri-county area)
About Us Air Force HVAC has been a trusted name in South Florida for over 5 years, delivering reliable residential HVAC service, installation, and maintenance across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties. Our slogan, “Your Home, Our Mission,” guides everything we do.

We are on track to grow 8x year-over-year at the top line as we expand our technician team, client base, and service offerings. To achieve this ambitious growth, we are seeking a hands-on Field Service Manager to help us scale with excellence, develop leaders, and ensure operational discipline.

The Senior HVAC Technician is a top-tier, hands-on technical role responsible for performing complex installations, diagnostics, and repairs across residential and light commercial systems — including VRF, VAV, and commercial rooftop/split units. Beyond the technical work, this person leads by example in the field: mentoring junior and mid-level technicians, modeling strong sales conversations with customers, and reinforcing the standards the company runs on.

This is not a desk job. The Senior Technician spends the vast majority of their time on tools, in trucks, and on job sites — setting the pace for the rest of the field team through the quality of their own work and the way they carry themselves with customers.

Speed, craftsmanship, and consistency are non-negotiable in this position.
