  • Ability to confidently work through unusual or complicated HVAC problems without relying on constant supervision.
  • Valid driver's license.
  • Basic personal hand tools.
  • Ability to occasionally work more than 40 hours when project demands require it.

  • Experience with heat pumps and ductless/mini-split systems.
  • Experience with rooftop units.
  • Unico or other high-velocity system experience.
  • Boiler experience.
