• Ability to scope, estimate, and help execute commercial HVAC repair, replacement, and retrofit projects.

• Advanced experience with major OEM equipment platforms and manufacturer training from Trane, Carrier, York/JCI, Daikin, or similar.

• EPA Universal Certification.

• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.

• Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation (only once every 6-8 weeks!)

• Professional communication skills, both in the field and in written service documentation

Bonus Points For:

• Critical-environment and healthcare experience; BAS programming on one platform; the path and the appetite to become a service manager or operations manager.

• Experience with building automation systems such as Niagara, Metasys, Tracer, or Desigo.

• Critical-environment experience supporting healthcare facilities, data centers, laboratories, or other mission-critical operations.

• OEM training from Trane, Carrier, York/JCI, Daikin, or similar manufacturers.

• NATE, A2L, or other industry certifications.

• Earn $52-$60/hour, with pay based on your experience, technical expertise, and license level.

• Take home a company vehicle, fuel card, phone, and everything you need to do your job successfully.

• Access consistent overtime opportunities and additional compensation through our on-call rotation.

• Continue growing your skills through company-paid OEM training, building automation exposure, and A2L refrigerant certification.
