Description

Hey there! We’re Edelman, and we’re looking for a Residential Service Rockstar to join our team. At Edelman, we believe in creating comfortable, safe spaces for our customers while providing a supportive atmosphere where you can actually advance your career.

• You’re a Lifelong Learner. You’re excited about hitting your 20 hours of training a year to master wiring diagrams, soldering, and troubleshooting.
• You’re Independent & Reliable. You’re ready to hop in your company vehicle and manage your dispatched jobs with precision.
• You’re a Professional. You show up on time, maintain a sharp appearance, and represent the Edelman name with pride.

You Shouldn’t Apply If

• Extreme weather, tight crawlspaces, or the occasional attic spider makes you want to call it quits.
• You aren't comfortable discussing product options or maintenance agreements with customers.
• You prefer a "lone wolf" style that ignores instructions from dispatch or supervisors.

Your Daily Mission

• The On-Site Pro: Arrive at scheduled appointments in Champaign to perform comprehensive system maintenance and high-quality filter changes.
• Customer Education: Inform homeowners about planned maintenance agreements and additional products that can make their world a better place.
• Skill Development: Work toward mastering electrical refrigeration principles, blueprint reading, and even basic generator maintenance.
• Precision Reporting: Complete all service forms properly and communicate clearly with dispatch to keep the day running smoothly.
• Safety First: Operate your company vehicle safely and use tools/ladders with a focus on "Zero Accidents" standards.

What You Bring To The Table

• The Experience: Minimum of 6 months HVAC service experience (completion of a training program is a huge plus!).
• The Credentials: EPA Certified (or ready to get it within 3 months) and a valid driver's license.
• The Hustle: Ability to lift up to 100 lbs and handle the physical demands of bending, crawling, and climbing in varied weather.
• The Drive: A commitment to passing drug and background screens and a hunger for continuous professional development.

Why Edelman?

• Competitive Pay: Get rewarded for your expertise, $20–$27 per hour depending on your level + bonus's.
• Career Advancement: We don't just give you a job; we give you a path. We'll help you develop the skills to move from maintenance to high-level service.
