National Chiller Commissioning & Service Specialist (Remote Field)

What your days look like

You start from home, fly or drive to a client site, and bring a new commercial or process HVAC system to life. Morning: commission a chiller and verify controls and safety devices. Midday: chase down a refrigerant leak or an electrical fault and restore efficiency. Late afternoon: document test results, parts used, and system adjustments, then brief the customer on performance and recommended improvements. You close the day aligned with project managers and installers to resolve open items quickly and effectively.

This is a remote, nationwide field role with up to 80% travel. We work with you to build a sustainable and predictable rotation—such as 14 days on / 7 days off or 21 days on / 14 days off—so you get meaningful home time and balance.
