Job Description

Imagine This

You arrive at a client site where a VRF system isn’t meeting setpoints. You trace a signal from the controller, verify sensor integrity, compare readings against the schematic, and isolate a failing component. Later, you move to a hydronic panel, balance flows, confirm boiler sequencing, and update digital service records—leaving the space comfortable, compliant, and efficient.

If you thrive on complex problem-solving and variety across commercial and industrial environments, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Maintain and repair commercial/industrial HVAC and refrigeration systems in the field.
• Leverage schematics, design plans, and tools (ohmmeters, refrigeration testing equipment) to pinpoint issues.
• Troubleshoot electrical and mechanical faults, then implement reliable corrective actions.
• Record work details meticulously and work to safety standards and building codes.
• Support HVAC/R-related property maintenance tasks as needed.
• Use power tools, hand tools, and diagnostic instruments with care and precision.
• Maintain safe, orderly, and clean work areas.

Your Toolkit

• Experience as an HVAC/R service tech or allied trade professional (construction, property maintenance, appliance repair).
• Solid mechanical skills with hands-on work on heating and cooling equipment.
• Fluency with schematics and HVAC design concepts; confident in field procedures.
• Background in plumbing and electrical; ammonia refrigeration exposure is a plus.
• Welding or boiler maintenance experience is a plus.
• Comfort with HVAC diagnostic tools and measurement techniques.
• Valid driver’s license and good driving record for travel between customer sites.

Equipment & Systems You May Encounter

• DX packaged units and splits
• Geothermal systems
• VRF platforms
• Hydronic heating, cooling, and process
• Boilers and gas-fired heating
• Ventilation systems and HVAC controls
• Chillers and cooling towers (preferred exposure is a plus)

How You Show Up

• Dependable troubleshooter—reliable and on time.
• Collaborative teammate with strong communication skills.
• Professional, safety-conscious, and efficiency-driven.
• Comfortable with phones, tablets, and computers for diagnostics and documentation.
• Mentor mindset—ready to coach and support others.
• Adaptable to different customer needs and site conditions; professional appearance and customer focus.

Physical & Scheduling Expectations

• Lift 50+ lbs.
• Work at elevation and in rooftops, attics, basements, and varied temperatures.
• Be available for on-call assignments.
• Stand, bend, stoop, and reach for extended periods.
