• Special Projects Support: Assist senior technicians with complex projects such as refrigerant retrofits or chiller decontamination, taking on substantial portions of the work.

• On-Site Coordination: Manage tools, materials, and refrigerant inventory for job readiness. Make field adjustments as needed and provide updates to the Service Manager or Lead.

• Mentorship: Train and guide Tech I team members on proper service procedures, troubleshooting, and safety practices.

• Customer Interaction: Communicate effectively with customers about service performed, provide clear updates, and ensure satisfaction before project completion.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years of HVAC/R field service experience, demonstrating independence and technical proficiency.

• Certifications:

  • EPA 608 Universal Certification (required).

  • OSHA-10 safety training (minimum; OSHA-30 preferred).

  • Valid driver’s license and ability to meet DOT requirements.

  • Ability to read wiring diagrams, manuals, and service bulletins.

  • Proficiency with diagnostic tools and data interpretation.

  • Comfortable using tablets/computers for service reporting and technical documentation.

• Soft Skills: Strong organizational skills, clear communication, problem-solving mindset, team orientation, and commitment to safety.

Preferred Qualifications

• Technical training or degree in HVAC/R or related field.

• Manufacturer-specific service training (e.g., Carrier, Daikin, Trane).

• State HVAC technician license (where applicable).

• Advanced safety certifications (e.g., OSHA-30, HAZWOPER, First Aid/CPR).

• Experience with specialty refrigerants or large tonnage systems.

• CDL Class B with HAZMAT endorsement (a plus).
