  • Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
  • Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation (only once every 6-8 weeks!)
  • Professional communication skills, both in the field and in written service documentation.

 

Bonus Points For

  • Experience with building automation systems such as Niagara, Metasys, Tracer, or Desigo.
  • Critical-environment experience supporting healthcare facilities, data centers, laboratories, or other mission-critical operations.
  • OEM training from Trane, Carrier, York/JCI, Daikin, or similar manufacturers.
  • Experience scoping and estimating repair, retrofit, and replacement projects.
  • NATE, A2L, or other industry certifications.
