  • Utilize MS Word and Excel to record, organize, and submit clear inspection reports.



Required Qualifications:

  • Education: Diploma or Certificate in HVAC Technology, Mechanical Systems, or a related technical field (or equivalent trade experience).
  • Technical Knowledge: Strong familiarity with industrial HVAC systems, heavy ducting, AHUs, refrigeration/pressure testing, and SMACNA installation standards.
  • Blueprint Reading: Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, mechanical schematics, and ductwork layout prints.
  • Computer Skills: Proficient in MS Office (Excel and Word) for logging QA forms, checklists, and tracking logs.
  • Site Readiness: Ability to work safely on active industrial construction sites and maintain flexible availability for peak testing windows.


Preferred Qualifications:
