  • Perform testing, adjusting, and balancing of air and hydronic systems to meet design specifications
  • Read and interpret MEP blueprints, duct layouts, and control schematics
  • Use digital instruments to measure airflow, static pressure, temperature, and system performance

Preferred:
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Chemical Engineering or Applied Sciences
  • Prior experience in commercial HVAC service, controls, or commissioning
  • Active NEBB or AABC certification (TAB CT or CP) - or interest in pursuing certification
Training & Certification Path
AAB is a NEBB Certified Firm, and we actively support your professional growth.
  • Trainees begin with field mentoring and NEBB home-study coursework.
  • After ~2 years of experience, you'll be eligible to sit for the NEBB Technician (TAB CT) exam.

What Success Looks Like
  • Within 12 months: working independently, reading blueprints confidently, producing accurate test results, and communicating effectively with site teams.
  • Within 24 months: eligible for NEBB Technician certification and recognized as a trusted, problem-solving field expert.
Why Join American Air Balance
  • Competitive pay based on experience and certification level
