Commercial HVAC/R Service Technician

Company: Mr. C Refrigeration
Location: Columbus, OH — applicants must currently live within approximately 25 miles of Columbus
Pay: $55–$55/hour, based on experience
Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Opportunity

Mr. C Refrigeration provides installation, emergency repair, and preventative maintenance services for commercial and industrial refrigeration, cold storage, and HVAC equipment.

We’re open to experienced service technicians as well as developing technicians who have a solid foundation and a strong desire to grow. You don’t need to know everything on day one, but you must be motivated to learn, take feedback, and build your troubleshooting and repair skills.

If your experience is primarily preventative maintenance, we’re willing to consider you—provided your goal is to advance into a well-rounded commercial HVAC/R service technician. This role requires a commitment to developing beyond routine maintenance and taking on increasingly complex service work.

What You’ll Do

Responsibilities will grow with your demonstrated skills and experience:

• Perform preventative maintenance and equipment inspections
• Troubleshoot and repair commercial HVAC and refrigeration equipment within your capabilities, with team support as needed
• Develop your ability to diagnose mechanical, electrical, and refrigeration system issues
• Identify equipment problems and recommend necessary repairs
• Test systems after repairs to confirm proper operation
• Communicate findings and service needs clearly with customers and team members
• Complete service documentation accurately and on time
• Maintain a safe, clean, and professional work environment
• Travel to customer locations throughout the assigned service area
• Participate in ongoing training and apply what you learn in the field

What We’re Looking For

• Must currently live within approximately 25 miles of Columbus, OH
• EPA Certification required
• Commercial HVAC/R service experience preferred; candidates with less experience and strong growth potential will be considered
• Foundational hands-on HVAC/R knowledge and mechanical aptitude
• A strong desire to develop diagnostic, troubleshooting, and repair skills
• Willingness to ask questions, accept coaching, and apply feedback
• Initiative, dependability, and ownership of your work
• Ability to manage assigned tasks and work more independently as your skills develop
• Professional communication and customer service skills
• Valid driver’s license
• Commitment to safety and quality workmanship
• Technical school HVAC/R training or equivalent field experience preferred

Three or more years of commercial HVAC/R service experience is a plus, not a requirement. Your foundation, work ethic, and commitment to progressing in the trade matter.

Physical Requirements

This hands-on field position requires regularly standing, walking, bending, kneeling, climbing, reaching, pushing, and pulling; lifting or moving up to 50 pounds; climbing ladders and working at elevated heights; and working indoors and outdoors in varying weather and environmental conditions.

Why Join Mr. C?

• $55–$55/hour, based on experience
• Overtime eligibility
• Commission opportunities
• On-call pay
• Weekly pay via direct deposit
• 40 hours (1 week) of PTO
• Paid holidays beginning on your first day of employment
• Access to company-sponsored group insurance and benefit plans
• 401(k) eligibility
• Benefits eligibility beginning the first of the month following 30 days of service
• Ongoing technical training and development
• Support from an experienced commercial HVAC/R team
• Opportunities to build your skills and advance your career
