This is a senior, hands-on leadership role designed for an experienced commercial HVAC professional who can step in when situations get complex - supporting technicians in the field, visiting job sites, resolving issues in real time, and maintaining strong client relationships.

  • Visit job sites to support technicians and drive solutions
  • Coordinate daily field operations, including scheduling, priorities, and job flow
  • Bridge communication between technicians, clients, vendors, and office staff

  • Support job costing, documentation, and operational tracking

Required Experience

  • 10+ years of commercial HVAC experience
  • Strong background with chillers, boilers, and commercial RTUs
  • Prior leadership, senior technician, or supervisory experience
  • Excellent troubleshooting, communication, and decision-making skills
  • Comfortable using technology (mobile apps, photos/videos, documentation tools)
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record


  • Lead with confidence, accountability, and no ego


Compensation: $90,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year
