Job Description
Summary
The Senior HVAC Service Technician is the lead field technician for Soave Mechanical, a Naples-based HVAC and mechanical contractor. Under the direction of the HVAC Service Manager, the Senior Technician diagnoses, repairs, starts up, and maintains high-end systems, serves as the technical escalation point for the service team, mentors and quality-checks junior technicians, and represents the company inside residences where discretion, appearance, and craftsmanship directly affect client retention. The Senior Technician works independently, reports findings and safety concerns to the manager, and conducts all business professionally and ethically.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Essential duties include the following. Other duties may be assigned.
Estate Systems Service and Diagnostics
- Serve as the senior technical resource and first escalation point for complex refrigerant, chilled water, airflow, electrical, and controls problems.
- Diagnose, repair, and start up chilled water plants (air-cooled chillers, pumps, VFDs, hydronic loops), custom and commercial-grade air handlers and fan coils (including AAON), VRF (Mitsubishi Electric CITY MULTI, LG Multi V), Trane variable-speed communicating systems, whole-house dedicated dehumidifiers, ERVs, wine room and art storage cooling, indoor pool dehumidification, and walk-in refrigeration using manufacturer procedures and diagnostic software.
- Verify charge by superheat, subcooling, and manufacturer-specified methods. Verify airflow by static pressure, temperature split, and CFM. Verify chilled water flow, delta T, and pump and VFD operation. Confirm equipment runs through its programmed sequence and record baseline data at startup and before turnover.
- Perform refrigerant piping to manufacturer standards: nitrogen-purged brazing, micron-gauge evacuation with decay test, correct line set sizing, and leak detection and repair. Handle R-410A and A2L refrigerants (R-454B, R-32) per EPA Section 608 and A2L safety practices.
- Lead dehumidification and building pressurization work: diagnose humidity, indoor air quality, and pressure problems using dew point, wet bulb, and moisture readings; measure supply, return, and outdoor air; and correct issues with dedicated dehumidification, ERV and fresh air, high-MERV and HEPA filtration, UV, duct leakage repair, and condensate management. Protect finishes, millwork, art, and wine collections from humidity damage, including in seasonally unoccupied homes.
- Support the company's accredited testing and balancing work as assigned, following documented test procedures, calibrated instrument controls, and record-keeping requirements.
Maintenance, Controls, and Quality
- Perform scheduled estate preventive maintenance to the company standard (coil and blower cleaning, condensate and float switch service, filter programs, chilled water and hydronic checks, electrical inspection, component testing, refrigerant and control checks) and deliver a written condition report to the estate manager or owner's representative.
- Configure and troubleshoot building automation and manufacturer controls: BMS front ends, BACnet and Modbus points, VRF controllers, communicating thermostats, VFD parameters, and dehumidification controls. Coordinate with the home's automation integrator (Crestron, Savant, Control4, Lutron) and electricians so HVAC status, setpoints, and alerts work correctly. Respond to remote monitoring alerts.
- Perform warranty diagnostics, complete manufacturer warranty documentation, and report premature or repeat failures. Quality-check work by Technician I and II, helpers, and apprentices before closeout.
Client Service and Discretion
- Communicate clearly and professionally with owners, estate managers, house managers, general contractors, and other trades. Provide accurate repair and replacement estimates and coordinate with the comfort advisor on upgrades.
- Follow estate access and security protocols: scheduled arrival windows, gate and staff check-in, escort rules where required, and no movement through the residence beyond the work area.
- Keep client information confidential. No photographs of the residence, its contents, or its occupants (equipment photos only). No discussion of clients or properties outside the company and no social media reference to any client or property. Sign and honor client non-disclosure agreements.
- Protect the property: shoe covers, drop cloths, floor and wall protection, clean tools and truck, no food or drink inside, and leave every work area cleaner than found. Complete detailed digital service records (readings, equipment photos, model and serial numbers, parts, narrative) in the field service software.
Code, Safety, and Leadership
- Comply with the Florida Building Code (Mechanical and Energy Conservation), the National Electrical Code, manufacturer instructions, Collier County permitting and inspection requirements, and company safety policy. Support permit closeout and inspections on new construction and renovations.
- Apply waterfront coastal practices: corrosion-resistant components, equipment anchoring for wind load, elevated stands and mechanical rooms where flood zone rules require them, and hurricane preparation, shutdown, and post-storm restoration.
- Work safely with live high and low voltage using lockout/tagout, ladder, attic, rooftop, and heat illness prevention practices.
- Respond to emergency and after-hours calls, work the rotating on-call schedule, and support extended hours in peak and hurricane season. Lead, mentor, and train junior technicians on site. Maintain the company vehicle, truck stock, tools, and calibrated instruments. Perform other related duties as assigned.
Competencies
Mastery of estate-scale mechanical systems. Independent diagnostic judgment. Discretion and client communication. Leadership and mentoring. Craftsmanship. Accountability. Safety leadership. Reliability. Adaptability in peak season and storm response.
Qualifications
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Required Skills and Abilities
- Demonstrated experience on high-end equipment. For this position, high-end equipment means the systems installed in estates valued at $40 million and above: chilled water plants with pumps and VFDs, custom and commercial-grade air handlers, VRF, whole-house dedicated dehumidification, specialty room cooling, and building automation, together with the manufacturers' top-tier variable-speed and communicating systems. The Senior Technician must be able to start up, charge by manufacturer method, balance, and diagnose these systems through manufacturer software and BMS front ends.
- Ability to diagnose complex refrigerant, chilled water, airflow, electrical, and controls issues independently. Strong understanding of humidity control (dew point, wet bulb, moisture load) in a hot, humid, coastal climate.
- Ability to read blueprints, mechanical and piping drawings, wiring diagrams, control sequences, and service manuals, and to read a load calculation and duct design and spot problems that will affect performance.
- Proficiency with digital gauges or probes, micron gauge, static pressure tools, multimeter and clamp meter, leak detectors, hydronic flow and temperature instruments, and manufacturer diagnostic apps.
- Excellent verbal and written communication, with the tact and discretion to work with owners, estate managers, and household staff.
- Ability to work in Florida heat and humidity, attics, mechanical rooms, and rooftops, and to manage priorities across multiple high-value client accounts.
Education and Experience
- High school diploma or equivalent. Completion of an accredited HVAC training program or registered apprenticeship.
- Minimum seven years of HVAC service experience, including at least three years on estate-scale or commercial mechanical systems as defined above: chilled water plants, commercial-grade air handlers, VRF, whole-house dehumidification, and building automation. Residential split-system and ductless mini-split work alone does not meet this requirement. Candidates must name the systems they have started up and serviced and provide factory training records. Commercial and institutional HVAC technicians with this experience are encouraged to apply.
- Experience inside occupied luxury residences under estate manager direction, and experience leading or quality-checking technicians, strongly preferred.
Preferred Certificates and Licenses
- EPA Section 608 Universal certification required.
- A2L refrigerant safety training completed at hire or within 90 days of hire.
- NATE certification within 12 months of hire if not held at hire.
- Factory service training on the company's equipment lines (Trane, Mitsubishi Electric, LG, AAON) and on the chiller and dehumidifier manufacturers the company services preferred. Company-designated manufacturer training must be completed within 12 months of hire.
- Collier County Journeyman Air Conditioning certificate, or ability to obtain within 12 months of hire. Lee and Hendry County journeyman certificates where required by that county for the work performed.
- Valid Florida driver's license with a motor vehicle record acceptable to the company's insurance carrier. Must remain insurable to operate company vehicles.
- Must pass a pre-employment criminal background check and drug screen, and any client-required background screening. Estate clients routinely require their own screening as a condition of access.
Communication, Math, and Technology
Speak, read, and write English fluently. Read codes, safety rules, service manuals, piping and wiring diagrams, and control sequences, and write clear service narratives and client reports. Calculate superheat, subcooling, temperature split, static pressure, CFM, chilled water delta T, and electrical values, and perform unit conversions and estimating math.

Work Environment and Physical Demands
Work is performed in occupied waterfront estates, estates under construction or renovation, private clubs, and commercial buildings. The employee is regularly exposed to moving mechanical parts, outside weather, confined spaces, attics that can exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit, mechanical rooms, rooftops, salt air, lightning, and the risk of electrical shock. Work inside finished residences requires protection of floors, finishes, furnishings, and art. Hurricane season may require storm preparation and post-storm response.
This position is very active and requires continuous standing, walking, bending, stooping, kneeling, crawling, climbing ladders, and pulling throughout the day, with frequent repetitive motions. The employee must frequently lift and carry up to 50 pounds and push or pull 50-pound loads, using team lifts or mechanical assistance for heavier equipment. Requires close, distance, color, and peripheral vision and depth perception. The employee must wear required PPE, follow company heat illness prevention practices, and work safely at all times. Reasonable accommodations may be made for individuals with disabilities.
Hours, Travel, and Employment Conditions
Full-time, non-exempt. Overtime is paid per the Fair Labor Standards Act and company policy. Extended hours are expected in peak cooling season. The employee works the rotating on-call schedule and evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed for emergency service and storm response. Daily local travel in a company vehicle, with occasional overnight travel for training.
This job description is not a comprehensive list of duties, and duties may change at any time with or without notice. Employment with the Company is for an indefinite period and is "at will," which means either you or the Company may end the employment relationship at any time, for any or no reason, with or without cause or prior notice.
Soave Mechanical is an equal opportunity employer and makes employment decisions without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, disability, marital status, genetic information, veteran status, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law, including the Florida Civil Rights Act. Accommodation requests go to Human Resources. The Company participates in E-Verify and maintains a Drug-Free Workplace program. Employment is contingent on a satisfactory background check, drug screen, and motor vehicle record review.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in service technician jobs.
- High school diploma or equivalent with vocational or technical training preferred
- One to three years of hands-on experience with mechanical, electrical, or electronic systems
- Relevant certification such as EPA 608, OSHA 10, or manufacturer-specific credentials
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record for field service travel
- Proficiency with diagnostic tools, multimeters, and computerized service software
- Strong customer communication skills for on-site troubleshooting and service calls
Tips for Your Service Technician Job Search
List every certification you hold
Recruiters filter for EPA 608, OSHA 10, CompTIA A+, and manufacturer-specific credentials before they read anything else. Put certifications in their own section at the top of your resume so they surface immediately in an applicant tracking system.
Quantify your diagnostic and repair history
Instead of writing 'repaired HVAC units,' write how many units per week, what failure types you resolved, and what your first-call resolution rate was. Numbers make your experience concrete and separate you from candidates with identical job titles.
Target openings by equipment brand you know
Many postings name specific brands like Carrier, Siemens, Trane, or Cisco. Search for those brand names alongside your job title to find roles where your hands-on familiarity gives you a real edge over generalist applicants.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists service technician openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for a hands-on skills assessment
Many employers test troubleshooting logic before or during the interview, sometimes with a mock fault scenario or a written diagnostic walkthrough. Review your most common failure modes and be ready to talk through your step-by-step diagnostic process out loud.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base pay
Field service roles often include a company vehicle, fuel card, tool allowance, and overtime opportunities that significantly affect your real earnings. Ask about each of these in your final interview round before accepting or declining an offer.
Service Technician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most service technicians?
Monro Auto Service and Tire Centers, Tesla, and Jiffy Lube are hiring the most service technicians right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, California, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Demand is particularly strong in industrial maintenance and medical equipment sectors.
How many service technician jobs are remote?
About 18% of service technician openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most roles. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid work are software-side technical support, remote diagnostics, and service coordination roles that do not require a physical site visit.
How do you become a service technician?
Start by completing a vocational program, community college certificate, or apprenticeship in your target discipline, such as HVAC, electronics, or medical equipment. Earn a relevant entry-level certification like EPA 608 or CompTIA A+. Then pursue an apprentice or helper role with a company that offers on-the-job training under experienced technicians to build your diagnostic and repair skills.
Can you get a service technician job with little or no experience?
Yes, many employers hire entry-level service technicians and provide structured on-the-job training, particularly in HVAC, telecom, and appliance repair. Your best approach is to complete a short vocational certificate, even a semester-long program, obtain one entry-level credential, and apply to helper or apprentice-level postings that explicitly list training as part of the role.
What does the service technician interview process look like?
Most employers run a phone screen to verify your certifications and experience, followed by an in-person or video interview focused on how you diagnose and resolve specific failures. Many include a practical or scenario-based assessment where you walk through a troubleshooting sequence. Some field service roles also add a driving record check and a background check before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to service technician jobs?
You can find and apply to service technician jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your certifications, equipment experience, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
