• Contribute to Knowledge Articles, troubleshooting guides, service bulletins, and other technical documentation.

• Collaborate with Dispatch, Field Service, Advanced Technical Support, Engineering, Quality, Training, Sales, and other internal teams.

• Participate in occasional site visits and hands‑on training opportunities to strengthen product knowledge and troubleshooting skills.

• Ability to read electrical schematics, product drawings, and technical specifications.

• Working knowledge of single‑phase and three‑phase electrical systems.

• Familiarity with pumps, heat exchangers, controls, sensors, valves, actuators, and fluid systems.

• Strong customer service, communication, and documentation skills.

• Ability to explain technical instructions clearly to individuals with varying levels of experience.

• Ability to manage multiple cases and priorities effectively.

• Sound technical judgment and the ability to recognize when an issue requires escalation.

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a technical support environment.

What qualifications will make you successful?

• Associate degree or technical training in HVAC/R, electrical, mechanical, controls, electronics, or a related discipline preferred, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

• 3+ years of experience in HVAC/R, field service, technical support, or a similar technical troubleshooting role preferred.

• Experience troubleshooting electrical and mechanical equipment and reading electrical schematics.
