Job Description

Are you an experienced HVAC professional looking to get off the road and take ownership of a premier commercial property? We are seeking a skilled Building Maintenance Technician / Building Engineer to support the operation, maintenance, and performance of a Class A commercial facility.

This role is ideal for someone with strong HVAC troubleshooting experience who enjoys working in a Commercial Real Estate (CRE) environment. You'll be responsible for maintaining critical building systems, responding to tenant requests, and ensuring the property remains safe, efficient, and operating at peak performance.

Responsibilities

• Perform preventative maintenance and repairs on commercial HVAC equipment, including air handlers, RTUs, split systems, pumps, and associated mechanical equipment.
• Troubleshoot HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and building automation system (BAS) issues.
• Monitor and maintain central plant and mechanical equipment to maximize system performance and tenant comfort.
• Respond to tenant service requests and resolve maintenance issues in a professional and timely manner.
• Conduct routine inspections of mechanical rooms, equipment, and common areas.
• Complete filter changes, belt replacements, lubrication, and other scheduled preventative maintenance tasks.
• Support operation of electrical, plumbing, fire-life safety, and building systems.
• Coordinate with outside contractors and specialized service vendors when required.
• Utilize CMMS systems to document work orders, repairs, and preventative maintenance activities.
• Identify opportunities to improve equipment reliability, energy efficiency, and overall building operations.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment.
• Participate in emergency response and on-call rotations as needed.

Skills & Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience maintaining commercial HVAC systems in office buildings, medical facilities, industrial properties, or other commercial real estate environments.
• Strong understanding of HVAC systems, controls, electrical systems, and mechanical equipment.
• Experience troubleshooting RTUs, air handlers, VAV systems, pumps, motors, and related equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical, electrical, and HVAC schematics.
• Experience performing preventative maintenance and equipment repairs independently.
• EPA Universal Certification strongly preferred.

• Strong customer service and communication skills when interacting with tenants and property management teams.

Why Work Here?

Join a stable and growing commercial real estate organization that values technical expertise and building operations excellence. You'll have the opportunity to work on a dedicated property, gain exposure to complex building systems, and make a visible impact on tenant satisfaction and asset performance. Unlike service work, you'll be focused on maintaining and improving a single facility, allowing you to take true ownership of the building and see the results of your work every day.

Work Environment

This position is based at a commercial office property where you'll serve as a key member of the building operations team. The role is highly hands-on and focused on HVAC and mechanical systems, while also supporting general building maintenance. You'll work with commercial-grade equipment, building automation systems, and critical facility infrastructure in a professional CRE environment.
