• San Antonio Field Rotations: You will transition to San Antonio for 1–2 weeks at a time to support site-specific operations.
• The Long-Term Goal: Transition into a full-time, 40-hour on-site technician role in San Antonio as the market territory matures.

What You’ll Do

• Mechanical & Controls Fusion: Perform start‑up and troubleshooting on commercial HVAC systems (RTUs, chillers, boilers) while learning to integrate them with BAS.
• Digital Integration: Develop expertise in BAS controls for VFDs, actuators, and dampers.
• System Setup: Configure, download, and verify controller hardware and network addresses to ensure optimal performance.
• Optimization: Execute sequence verification to maximize building energy efficiency.
