Senior Chiller Technician - Houston

Senior Chiller Technician

Nationwide HVAC Rental Provider (via Precision Hire)

Precision Hire has partnered with a nationwide HVAC rental company operating 30+ branches across the U.S., providing best-in-class cooling, heating, dehumidification, and power solutions for mission-critical facilities, major events, healthcare, data centers, and industrial applications.

We are seeking a Senior Chiller Technician to serve as the technical authority at the branch level and the go-to expert for chiller maintenance, testing, and repairs within the company’s owned rental fleet.

This is not a building service role.

You will work out of the branch and on temporary rental installations—not on permanent HVAC systems inside customer buildings.

What You’ll Do

• Lead maintenance, troubleshooting, testing, and repair of large-tonnage chillers and air-conditioning rental equipment
• Serve as the primary technical expert for chillers at the branch
• Support temporary installations at customer sites (data centers, healthcare, events, industrial facilities)
• Perform pre-deployment inspections and post-rental evaluations
• Assist with special projects, including obsolete part sourcing and equipment upgrades
• Support fleet modernization initiatives (including remote monitoring systems)
• Mentor and train junior chiller and service technicians
• Collaborate with operations and turnkey installation teams
• Maintain accurate service documentation and reports

What We’re Looking For

• 5–7+ years of hands-on experience with large-tonnage HVAC and chiller equipment
• Universal EPA Certification (required)
• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills on complex systems
• Proven ability to work independently and lead by example
• Willingness to travel occasionally and support on-call rotations
• Comfortable using service software, ERP systems, and basic reporting tools
• Valid driver’s license, clean MVR, and ability to pass DOT physical, drug screen, and background check
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. safely

Schedule & Work Environment

• Flexible work hours depending on project needs
• Rotating on-call schedule (evenings/weekends during peak seasons)
• Overtime and double-time pay where applicable
• Branch-based role with temporary field support (not building maintenance)

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay with bonus opportunities
• Company vehicle
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick time)
• Career advancement and leadership opportunities
• Strong support, tools, and training

Why This Role Stands Out

If you’re a true chiller professional who enjoys owning the technical standard, mentoring others, and working on diverse, high-impact temporary projects—this is a role where your expertise will be valued and visible.
