Field Service Technician 3, HVAC

At Compu Dynamics, we don't just build infrastructure—we create the backbone of the digital future. As North America's premier technology infrastructure design-build partner, we design, construct, and maintain mission-critical data centers for some of the world's most innovative companies. With roots in one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the world, our growth is as intentional as our impact.

The Field Service Technician 3, HVAC handles the most complex mechanical service scopes independently, leads multi-technician jobs, and mentors junior technicians in the field. That means expert diagnostics and repair on chillers, cooling towers, CRAC/CRAH units, humidification, and controls. This tech sets the on-site quality and safety example and backs up the Field Superintendent on escalations, quality reviews, and workload balance.

It's the last step on the technician ladder before superintendent.
