About the Opportunity

Allied Plumbing is looking for a full-time 4th Year Apprentice or Journeyperson HVAC/Refrigeration Service Technician to join its growing HVAC/R division in the Lower Mainland, BC.

Reporting to the HVAC/R Manager, you will play a key role in delivering commercial and institutional HVAC/R service, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair work across the Lower Mainland. Working independently from a fully equipped service van, you'll diagnose complex mechanical and control system issues, provide effective solutions, and build strong relationships with clients while upholding Allied Plumbing's high standards of service.

This is a service-focused role, with an emphasis on air conditioning systems, electrical troubleshooting, preventative maintenance, and complex diagnostics rather than installation work. For the right candidate, there is a clear pathway to progress into a Lead Technician position.

More specifically, your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Diagnosing and troubleshooting complex HVAC, refrigeration, air conditioning, mechanical, and control system issues
• Performing service, maintenance, repair, and preventative maintenance across commercial and institutional facilities
• Responding to scheduled service calls while ensuring systems operate safely, efficiently, and reliably
• Troubleshooting electrical and control systems to identify and resolve equipment faults
• Servicing mechanical room equipment and associated HVAC/R systems
• Identifying repair, maintenance, and system improvement opportunities during service visits
• Documenting system issues, repair recommendations, and completed work within the service management system
• Preparing draft quotes for repairs, materials, equipment, and recommended work for office review
• Completing accurate service reports, work orders, and safety documentation in a timely manner
• Communicating effectively with customers, dispatch, supervisors, and team members regarding job progress and service requirements
• Maintaining an organized service vehicle, tools, equipment, and job materials
• Following company safety procedures, client site requirements, and industry best practices, including PPE, lockout/tagout, and rooftop safety protocols while delivering exceptional customer service

About You

To qualify, you will need to be a 4th Year Apprentice or Journeyperson Refrigeration Mechanic, HVAC/R Technician, or equivalent Red Seal trade professional. A minimum of 2 years of commercial or industrial HVAC/R service, maintenance, and troubleshooting experience will also be essential. A valid driver's licence with a satisfactory driver's abstract is required.

Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:

• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting experience with commercial HVAC/R systems, controls, and mechanical equipment
• Experience working on chillers, VRF systems, or commercial refrigeration equipment
• EPA or equivalent refrigerant handling certification, or the ability to obtain one
• Gas A or Gas B certification
• Experience servicing commercial or institutional mechanical systems
• Experience working safely at customer sites, including lockout/tagout, PPE, and rooftop safety procedures

As our ideal candidate, you will possess excellent diagnostic and problem-solving abilities, along with strong communication and customer service skills. You will be self-motivated, dependable, and comfortable working independently while taking ownership of complex service calls. You will also be professional, adaptable, safety-focused, and committed to delivering high-quality workmanship while building lasting relationships with clients.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced HVAC/R Service Technician who enjoys solving challenging mechanical problems, values autonomy in the field, and is looking to build a long-term career with a growing company that offers competitive pay, excellent support, and a clear growth pathway.
