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 For5–7+ 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 OutIf 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.
