A day in the life of a Williams A/C & Heating HVAC/R Apprentice looks like:

At 8 am (unless scheduled otherwise), the Apprentice will clock in at our office and retrieve their service assignment from the office manager; any new field assignments will be assigned to each Technician as they become available, and Apprentices will assist their assigned Technician on all jobs for the day. After receiving assignments, the Apprentice and their assigned Technician will head over to their assigned service calls and complete them. After each service call, Apprentices are responsible for loading all company equipment used on the job back onto the service truck. The Apprentice is responsible for the cleanliness and organization of both the job site and the service truck. The Apprentice may be asked to assist in the customer walk-through or explanation of services after a job has concluded. As work progresses, it may be necessary to make a parts run, and Apprentices are expected to make those runs while their assigned Technician is on site. Apprentices are responsible for logging parts used on a job into the database as they are used. This process is repeated until 5pm or until the last job is finished for the day. Apprentices are off for all recognized holidays and weekends. If Apprentices encounter new potential customers during work or outside of their working hours, they are encouraged to log those potential customers in our database; all Williams A/C & Heating Service Team Members are eligible for our generous commission structure in addition to their standard salary.
