• Lead troubleshooting efforts on challenging service calls and serve as a technical resource for fellow technicians.
• Manage preventative maintenance and service activities across an assigned portfolio of customer accounts.
• Mentor and support junior technicians in the field, helping develop their technical and troubleshooting skills.
• Create clear, professional service reports and communicate findings and recommendations to customers.
• Identify repair, retrofit, and replacement opportunities and provide solution recommendations that deliver value to customers.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of commercial HVAC service experience with in-depth knowledge of rooftop units, VRF systems, hydronic and steam boilers, pumps and towers, VFDs and building-automation integration and experience starting up and commissioning replacement equipment.
• Maryland Master HVAC
• Proven experience mentoring, training, and developing HVAC technicians in the field.
• 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
