Job description

Senior HVAC/R Technician (Single Facility)

$35 - $44 per hour | Columbus, OH | On-site | Permanent

Commercial / Industrial HVAC | 7:00-3:30 | $35-$44/hr | Profit Sharing

A bit about us:

A long-standing manufacturing company in Columbus is hiring a Senior HVAC Technician to support HVAC/R systems across an active industrial facility.

This is a senior hands‑on position for someone who has spent their career troubleshooting commercial or industrial equipment and is comfortable taking a problem from diagnosis through repair. You'll work across a wide range of HVAC, refrigeration, hydronic, electrical, and control systems while also serving as a technical resource for other technicians.

This is not a residential service role or a basic facilities PM position. The team is looking for someone who understands how the entire system works together and can be trusted to diagnose the issues that aren't solved by simply replacing a part.

Why join us?

• $35-$45/hour based on experience + overtime potential + bonuses and profit sharing
• First‑shift schedule: 7:00 AM-3:30 PM
• Senior‑level autonomy while remaining hands‑on in the field
• Broad equipment exposure across HVAC/R, chillers, boilers, refrigeration, controls, BAS, and hydronic systems
• Opportunity to lead jobs and mentor less‑experienced technicians without moving into a desk‑only management role
• Stable manufacturing environment with a long‑term focus
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage, HSA with 2:1 company match
• 401(k) + company profit sharing
• Company‑paid life and AD&D insurance
• Paid time off

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, repair, and maintain commercial and industrial HVAC/R systems throughout the facility
• Work across chillers, boilers, cooling towers, RTUs, split systems, heat pumps, air handlers, refrigeration equipment, pumps, fans, and related plant systems
• Diagnose refrigeration, electrical, mechanical, and low‑voltage control issues, including motors, starters, relays, contactors, sensors, actuators, safeties, and VFDs
• Use Building Automation Systems to troubleshoot alarms, trends, sequences, and equipment performance
• Perform brazing, piping, leak detection, evacuation, charging, and refrigeration repairs
• Plan and complete preventive, predictive, corrective, and emergency maintenance
• Support equipment installation, startup, commissioning, plant shutdowns, and capital projects
• Coordinate contractors and assigned technicians on larger repairs and maintenance work
• Identify recurring failures and recommend improvements to equipment reliability
• Document completed work, equipment history, and maintenance activity in the CMMS
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less‑experienced technicians

Requirements

• 6+ years of commercial or industrial HVAC/R experience; 8+ years strongly preferred
• Industrial or commercial HVAC background required; residential‑only experience will not be a fit
• Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic experience across HVAC/R systems
• Hands‑on refrigeration experience including electrical and controls troubleshooting skills
• Experience with Building Automation Systems (BAS)
• Experience with chillers, boilers, cooling towers, RTUs, air handlers, refrigeration systems, hydronics, pumps, VFDs, and compressors
• Comfortable with brazing, piping, evacuation, leak detection, and refrigerant charging
• Able to independently plan and complete repairs and more involved maintenance work
• Manufacturing, industrial plant, healthcare, campus, data center, or large commercial facility experience preferred
• Ability to coordinate contractors and mentor junior technicians
• HVAC/R certifications and EPA certification preferred based on experience
• Comfortable supporting occasional overtime, shutdowns, and after‑hours needs
• Must be able to meet company drug‑screening requirements, including random testing
