  • The Experience That Will Really Get Our Attention
You're the tech other techs call when they're stuck – confident on a roof in January, calm in a hot mechanical room in July, and comfortable explaining your findings to a building owner. You don't guess; you measure, verify, and fix it right the first time. If you've spent years on commercial RTUs, split and package units, air handlers, fan coils and heat pumps, and you can walk onto a site, read the prints, hook up your gauges and meters, and quickly zero in on the problem, you'll stand out here.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
