About the Role

Are you an experienced HVAC technician ready to take your career to the next level? We’re looking for a Senior HVAC Service Technician to join a growing, customer-focused team. You’ll work on a variety of commercial and industrial projects, including hot water systems, DX systems, chillers, and more, across a diverse territory.

This role balances technical expertise with hands-on service, and it’s ideal for someone who enjoys working independently while supporting a growing team.

Key Responsibilities

• Diagnose, repair, and maintain HVAC systems, including hot water, DX, chillers, cooling towers, fan systems, VFDs, and low voltage controls
• Conduct equipment inspections, start-ups, commissioning, and preventative maintenance
• Provide technical training and support to clients and team members
• Identify opportunities for new services and solutions
• Travel within the assigned territory (Dubuque to Waterloo, Burlington, Grinnell, eastern Iowa, western Illinois, Missouri to Minnesota)
• Maintain accurate service records using company laptop and mobile systems

What You Bring

• 5+ years of HVAC experience, preferably in industrial or commercial settings
• Expertise in VRV/VRF systems, Daikin equipment, and refrigeration service
• HVAC license and EPA certification
• Strong problem-solving skills and excellent communication
• Valid driver’s license
• High school diploma or equivalent (technical training preferred)
• Physical capability to lift 75 lbs and work in confined or elevated spaces

Why You’ll Love Working with Us

• Competitive hourly pay with overtime opportunities
• Company vehicle, fuel card, laptop, and tools provided
• Excellent benefits: 100% health coverage, PTO, paid holidays
• Signing bonus for first/last month of relocation if needed
• Supportive team environment with opportunities for professional growth and training
• No union restrictions; high-level projects with premiere clients

Additional Notes

• Travel is minimal, overnight stays only when necessary
• First-year may involve more driving to establish your territory
• Core focus on Daikin equipment; Johnson Controls experience not required
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge HVAC technology, including VFDs and VRV/VRF systems

Must-Have: 

5+ years of HVAC experience, expertise in hot water, DX systems, chillers, VRV/VRF, and low voltage controls; valid HVAC license and EPA certification; strong problem-solving skills; ability to lift 75 lbs and work in confined/elevated spaces.

Nice-to-Have: 

Daikin training, experience with VFDs and industrial refrigeration, technical training or certifications beyond high school, willingness to travel within assigned territory, and previous experience in large-scale commercial or industrial facilities.

Screening Questions: (You must answer this along with the professional summary of the application):

1.) Can you walk me through your HVAC experience, including the types of systems you’ve serviced—hot water, DX, chillers, VRV/VRF, cooling towers, or VFDs?

2.) Do you currently hold an HVAC license and EPA certification? Have you completed any additional training or manufacturer-specific programs, like Daikin

3.) Are you comfortable working in industrial and commercial settings, lifting up to 75 lbs, accessing confined spaces, and traveling within a regional territory
