Senior Technician HVAC

Location: Southeast FL (serving tri-county area)
About Us Air Force HVAC has been a trusted name in South Florida for over 5 years delivering reliable residential HVAC service installation and maintenance across Broward Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. Our slogan Your Home Our Mission guides everything we do.

We are on track to grow 8x year-over-year at the top line as we expand our technician team client base and service offerings. To achieve this ambitious growth we are seeking a hands-on Field Service Manager to help us scale with excellence develop leaders and ensure operational discipline.

The Senior HVAC Technician is a top-tier hands-on technical role responsible for performing complex installations diagnostics and repairs across residential and light commercial systems including VRF VAV and commercial rooftop/split units. Beyond the technical work this person leads by example in the field: mentoring junior and mid-level technicians modeling strong sales conversations with customers and reinforcing the standards the company runs on.

This is not a desk job. The Senior Technician spends the vast majority of their time on tools in trucks and on job sites setting the pace for the rest of the field team through the quality of their own work and the way they carry themselves with customers.

Speed craftsmanship and consistency are non-negotiable in this position.

Primary Accountabilities

• Perform complex commercial HVAC service diagnostics repairs commissioning support preventive maintenance and installation support.
• Serve as the escalation point for difficult technical calls and validate diagnoses through measurements operating data schematics and sequence of operation.
• Mentor developing technicians reinforce proper diagnostic methodology and identify recurring training or performance gaps.
• Coordinate professionally with property managers building engineers facility teams general contractors and commercial clients.
• Maintain complete job documentation equipment data readings photographs parts requirements
• recommendations and job-status communication.
• Maintain company vehicle tools test instruments and field resources in professional job-ready condition.
• Commercial Systems Competency
• Strong field competency is expected across multiple commercial system categories including:
• Packaged rooftop units (RTUs) and commercial split systems
• Water-source heat pumps (WSHP) and condenser-water-loop systems
• VRF/VRV systems and variable-capacity commercial equipment
• VAV systems commercial air distribution outside air ventilation and economizers
• Chilled-water fan coils air handlers hydronic heating/cooling systems pumps and control valves
• Cooling towers and associated condenser-water systems
• Commercial electrical systems controls VFDs sensors safeties and BAS/DDC fundamentals

Technical Standard
Candidates must demonstrate the ability to distinguish equipment-level failures from broader building-system
conditions. Diagnosis should integrate refrigeration electrical airflow controls water flow heat transfer and
manufacturer operating data rather than rely on assumption or unnecessary component replacement.

• Refrigeration: pressures saturation temperatures superheat subcooling temperature split metering compressor performance and heat-transfer conditions.
• Electrical/Controls: high- and low-voltage circuits transformers relays contactors motors safeties sensors transducers VFDs control boards communication circuits and wiring diagrams.
• Hydronic/Water-Side: entering/leaving water temperatures water flow strainers valves pumps condenser-water loops chilled-water systems and cooling-tower interaction.
• Airflow: static pressure blower performance VAV operation duct restrictions ventilation outside air and air-balancing fundamentals.
