Location: Southeast, FL (serving tri-county area)
The Senior HVAC Technician is a top-tier, hands-on technical role responsible for performing complex installations, diagnostics, and repairs across residential and light commercial systems - including VRF, VAV, and commercial rooftop/split units. Beyond the technical work, this person leads by example in the field: mentoring junior and mid-level technicians, modeling strong sales conversations with customers, and reinforcing the standards the company runs on.
This is not a desk job. The Senior Technician spends the vast majority of their time on tools, in trucks, and on job sites - setting the pace for the rest of the field team through the quality of their own work and the way they carry themselves with customers.
Speed, craftsmanship, and consistency are non-negotiable in this position.
