  • System Testing: Conduct performance tests after repairs to verify optimal cooling and heating cycles.

  • Documentation: Maintain accurate records of all service work, parts used, and refrigerant logs for compliance and fleet management.

  • Field Support: Occasionally respond to road calls to perform emergency climate control repairs in the field.


Required Qualifications:

  • Ability to read blueprints, wiring diagrams, and technical service manuals.


Physical Requirements:



  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in tight engine compartments or on elevated platforms.

  • Comfortable working in various weather conditions and standing for prolonged periods.
