• Ability to scope, estimate, and help execute commercial HVAC repair, replacement, and retrofit projects.
• Advanced experience with major OEM equipment platforms and manufacturer training from Trane, Carrier, York/JCI, Daikin, or similar.
• EPA Universal Certification.
• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
• Willingness to participate in an on‑call rotation (only once every 6‑8 weeks!)
• Professional communication skills, both in the field and in written service documentation

Bonus Points For

• Critical‑environment and healthcare experience; BAS programming on one platform; the path and the appetite to become a service manager or operations manager.
• Experience with building automation systems such as Niagara, Metasys, Tracer, or Desigo.
• Critical‑environment experience supporting healthcare facilities, data centers, laboratories, or other mission‑critical operations.
• OEM training from Trane, Carrier, York/JCI, Daikin, or similar manufacturers.
• NATE, A2L, or other industry certifications.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish.
• Interest in future leadership opportunities such as Service Supervisor, Service Manager, or Operations Manager.
• Chiller experience

What You Get

• Earn $52-$60/hour, with pay based on your experience, technical expertise, and license level.
• Take home a company vehicle, fuel card, phone, and everything you need to do your job successfully.
