Commercial HVAC Service Technician

Anchor Staffing is partnering with an established mechanical contractor serving Mobile, Alabama, to hire experienced Commercial HVAC Service Technicians, including experienced lead service technicians.

This is a hands-on service, diagnostics and repair position, not a full-time installation role. Commercial HVAC service experience is required. Candidates should be comfortable diagnosing equipment problems, making repairs and handling service calls independently.

Location: Mobile, AL

Pay: $25–$33/hour, depending on experience.

Schedule: Typically five 8-hour days, starting at 7:00 a.m., with opportunities for overtime and weekend work.

Overtime: Our client has been established for more than 50 years and offers overtime opportunities nearly year-round, including during the slower season.

On-call rotation: Once every 10 weeks, Friday through Friday.

Service territory: All service work is within Mobile. No travel outside the Mobile area is required.

What You’ll Do

Diagnose, service, repair and maintain commercial HVAC systems, including rooftop units and packaged systems

Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical and refrigeration-related issues

Complete service-related repairs and component replacements, including compressor replacements and brazing refrigerant lines

Read electrical schematics and use diagnostic tools to identify equipment problems

Make sound repair decisions independently in the field

Communicate with customers and the service team about equipment issues and recommended repairs

Complete preventive maintenance and service work safely and efficiently

This role focuses on service and repair. A separate installation team handles major equipment installations; service technicians may assist with service-related connections, component replacements and start-ups.

What We’re Looking For

We value proven commercial HVAC service skills, strong troubleshooting ability and dependable work habits. Experienced lead service technicians are welcome, but supervisory experience is not required.

You should have:

Hands-on commercial HVAC service and repair experience

Strong electrical, mechanical and refrigeration troubleshooting skills

Experience servicing air-cooled HVAC equipment

The ability to diagnose problems and complete service calls independently

A valid driver’s license

EPA certification for refrigerant handling

Your own basic hand tools

Dependable attendance and clear communication with customers and coworkers

Availability for the stated schedule and on-call rotation

Experience with boilers, water-cooled equipment, building automation, commercial refrigeration or mechanical drawings is helpful but not required. Training is available in these additional areas for technicians with a strong commercial HVAC service foundation.

What Matters Most

Reliability matters. We’re looking for technicians who arrive on time, work consistently, communicate clearly and follow through.

You’ll have support from the Service Manager and office team while taking ownership of diagnosing problems and making repair decisions in the field.
