ABOUT THE ROLE
Diagnoses and repairs commercial rooftop units, split systems, chillers and the controls wrapped around them, usually alone and usually on someone else's schedule.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Diagnose and repair commercial rooftop units, split systems, chillers and their controls, usually alone and on the customer’s schedule
- Carry out planned maintenance on contracted equipment and record the readings that prove it was done
- Quote repairs found in the field within an agreed authority limit, and explain them to the building contact in plain language
- Take a share of the after-hours and weekend on-call rotation
- Document every call so the next technician is not starting the diagnosis over

WHAT YOU NEED
- EPA 608 Universal certification, current
- Three or more years on commercial equipment, not residential-only
- Able to read a wiring diagram and work a control circuit with a meter
- Valid driver licence and an acceptable motor vehicle record
- Comfortable working at height on rooftops, in confined mechanical rooms and in extremes of weather

PAY
$48,000 to $72,000 depending on experience and credentials.

WHERE IT GOES
Strong service technicians move to lead tech, then service manager, or sideways into controls, which usually pays better sooner.
