  • Diagnose and repair AC/DC electrical systems, wiring, and control modules
  • Perform refrigerant recovery, evacuation, and charging per EPA guidelines
  • Identify mechanical, electrical, and refrigerant-related failures and determine proper corrective actions
  • Complete road calls and on-site repairs in a mobile service environment (when applicable)
  • Use diagnostic software and tools to read fault codes and system data
  • Maintain accurate service records, inspection reports, and repair documentation
  • Communicate findings, repair recommendations, and timelines with customers or fleet managers
  • Follow all safety procedures, environmental regulations, and company policies
  • Maintain a clean, organized work area, service truck, and tools
  • Assist with other trailer or equipment repairs as needed
