  • Confident leader who enjoys mentoring technicians and developing talent
  • Strong communicator who works effectively with customers, technicians, vendors, and office staff
  • Calm, solutions-focused professional who leads by example in high-pressure situations
Core Responsibilities


  • Serve as the primary technical escalation point for complex industrial HVAC service and installation challenges
  • Visit customer sites to provide hands-on technical support and assist technicians with troubleshooting
  • Coordinate daily field operations, technician scheduling, and service priorities
  • Foster clear communication between technicians, customers, vendors, and internal teams
  • Oversee onboarding and documentation for new customer mechanical systems
  • Ensure all work meets company quality standards, safety requirements, and customer expectations
  • Support job costing, documentation, project tracking, and operational efficiency
  • Mentor technicians and promote ongoing technical development across the service team
Required Experience


  • 10+ years of industrial, mechanical, or large-scale HVAC service experience
  • Extensive experience with chillers, boilers, RTUs, hydronic systems, pumps, and mechanical room equipment
  • Previous leadership experience as a Lead Technician, Field Supervisor, Service Supervisor, or Service Manager
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, refrigeration, and control systems
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and decision-making abilities
  • Comfortable using mobile technology, service software, documentation platforms, and digital communication tools
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
Preferred Experience


  • Healthcare, industrial manufacturing, institutional, or mission-critical facility experience
  • Building automation or controls troubleshooting
  • Central plant operations
  • Experience leading technicians in live service environments
Priority Will Be Given to Candidates Who


  • Have been the primary technical resource for complex mechanical HVAC systems
  • Excel at troubleshooting chillers, boilers, RTUs, and hydronic systems
  • Are comfortable stepping into active field situations to support technicians
  • Build strong, lasting relationships with customers through technical expertise and professionalism
  • Lead with accountability, humility, and a team-first mindset
