The Opportunity

We're looking for a skilled commercial HVAC/R Service Technician who is also willing to run residential calls. Our work is roughly half commercial and half residential, including commercial refrigeration, chillers, commercial boilers, hydronic heating, and tankless water heaters. If you can troubleshoot refrigeration, chillers, and commercial boilers independently and enjoy hard diagnostic work, you'll fit right in.

Our techs are not selling techs: there's no commission, and we have separate install and sales teams so you can focus on what you do best. Our commercial workload isn't weather-dependent, so our senior techs stay busy year-round.

• Service and repair chillers and commercial boilers independently

• Service rooftop units, split systems, controls, and other commercial HVAC equipment

• Complete service documentation accurately and efficiently

Requirements

• 5+ years of HVAC/R service and repair experience

• Commercial service experience, with refrigeration experience strongly preferred

• Willingness to run both commercial and residential service calls

• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills and the ability to work independently

• Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening

Preferred Qualifications

• Commercial refrigeration rack system experience

• Chiller service experience

• Commercial boiler and hydronic experience

• Tankless water heater service experience
