Job description

East Tamaki base but work Auckland wide | Permanent position | 32 hours per week

Have you built a strong career on the tools and reached the point where you’re ready to become the person others turn to for technical guidance?

What’s on offer

• A competitive hourly rate reflecting your experience
• A permanent position working 32 hours per week
• Varied work across residential, commercial and industrial projects
• A supportive, experienced and growing team
• The opportunity to mentor and develop other HVAC professionals
• Genuine influence over the technical standards and future capability of the business
• A clear pathway toward a technical specialist and more office-based position

What you’ll be doing

You’ll remain actively involved in HVAC work while also becoming a trusted technical resource for the wider team. Your responsibilities will include:

• Installing residential, commercial and industrial HVAC systems
• Diagnosing faults, completing repairs and carrying out preventative maintenance
• Supporting complex technical decisions and resolving challenges on site
• Working closely with customers, builders, clients and other trades
• Mentoring junior and developing HVAC technicians
• Providing practical guidance on installation methods, fault-finding and good trade practice
• Assisting with job planning, site coordination and technical problem-solving
• Maintaining high standards of workmanship, safety and professionalism
• Supporting the owner and wider team with your technical knowledge and experience

What we’re looking for

This is a genuinely senior position, suited to someone with substantial HV AC experience and the confidence to lead through their knowledge and workmanship.

You’ll ideally bring:

• At least 10 years’ hands-on experience within the HV AC industry
• Broad experience across residential, commercial and industrial environments
• Strong capability across installation, servicing, maintenance and troubleshooting
• The ability to diagnose problems and provide practical, well-considered solutions

• Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills

Where this role could take you

This is not an immediate desk role, we need someone who is willing and able to remain hands-on initially.

However, as you become established within the business, there is genuine potential to transition into a more office-based technical position.

This could include quoting, job planning, project coordination, technical support, staff development and team leadership.

We’re looking for someone who can become an important part of Energy Efficient Solutions for the long term: someone whose knowledge is respected, whose standards strengthen the team and who is ready to take the next step in their HV AC career.

If you have the technical depth, practical experience and desire to become a trusted leader within a growing HVAC business, we’d love to hear from you.
