Senior Chiller Technician
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.
