You join a well-established HVAC organization with a strong presence in the region and a large base of repeat customers, offering stable and consistent work. The company provides a service vehicle, parts, and specialty tools, allowing you to focus on your craft rather than logistics. You benefit from a structured schedule with a defined start time and a reasonable on-call rotation that is not 24/7, supporting a healthier work-life balance. Working with a variety of commercial and industrial systems gives you the opportunity to sharpen your technical skills and grow professionally in a supportive environment.

This is a field-based role working on rooftop units and indoor units across a broad service area. You regularly work at heights and in outdoor environments, so you must feel comfortable working on roofs and in varying weather conditions. The position involves daily travel using a company-provided truck, which you may take home, and you may occasionally report to the shop to load parts and materials. Typical work begins with the first job at around 7:00 AM, with additional compensated drive time for distant calls and shop visits. The on-call schedule runs approximately once every six weeks, with calls generally limited to reasonable evening hours rather than overnight. You use basic hand tools, power tools, and specialized HVAC equipment, following safety protocols and any applicable dress or PPE guidelines appropriate for industrial and rooftop service work.
