HVAC Lead Technician – Experienced Only

Midwest Plumbing, LLC • Full-time • Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States • $38 - $45 / hour • 2w ago

Full-Time | Competitive Pay | Company Vehicle | Leadership Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced HVAC Lead Technician who is ready to take ownership of jobs and play a major role in the growth of our HVAC operation. This is not an entry-level position, and we are not looking for someone who needs to be managed throughout the day. We want an experienced HVAC professional who knows the trade, can solve problems in the field, lead a crew, and get jobs completed correctly and efficiently. If you are currently the person everyone calls when there is a difficult install, service issue, or problem that needs to be figured out, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Be Responsible For You will have a hands-on leadership role covering both HVAC installation and service, including:

Running residential and light commercial HVAC installations
Troubleshooting, diagnosing, and repairing HVAC systems
Leading installers, technicians, and apprentices
Planning jobs before work begins
Reviewing plans, equipment requirements, and job specifications
Making sure crews have the correct materials and equipment
Keeping jobs organized and moving forward
Completing equipment startups and system commissioning
Troubleshooting electrical, refrigeration, airflow, controls, and mechanical issues
Coordinating with builders, homeowners, inspectors, subcontractors, and management
Training and developing less-experienced employees
Holding your crew accountable for workmanship and productivity
Identifying problems early and communicating them before they affect the schedule
Making sure completed work meets company standards, manufacturer requirements, and applicable codes

Who We're Looking For We are looking for someone who already knows how to do the job. You should have:

Strong hands-on HVAC installation and service experience
Experience leading jobs, crews, or other technicians
Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic ability
Residential new construction experience
Replacement and retrofit experience
HVAC service experience
Knowledge of furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, air handlers, controls, thermostats, ventilation, and duct systems
Understanding of refrigeration, electrical systems, airflow, and equipment operation
Ability to read plans and specifications
Ability to plan ahead and stay organized
Strong communication skills
Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
EPA 608 Certification preferred

The Type of Person We Want We want someone who takes ownership. That means you:

Don't need someone constantly checking on you
Think ahead instead of waiting for problems to happen
Take pride in doing the job correctly
Keep your truck, materials, paperwork, and jobs organized
Can make decisions in the field
Communicate when something isn't right
Expect quality work from yourself and the people working with you
Can teach younger employees instead of just doing everything yourself
Understand that being a lead means being accountable for the entire job—not just your portion of it

We are not looking for someone who simply wants to punch a clock. We are looking for someone who wants to become an important part of the company and help build a strong HVAC team.

What We Offer For the right person, we are willing to offer a strong compensation package that reflects your experience and ability. Benefits may include:

Competitive hourly pay based on experience
Overtime opportunities
Company vehicle
Company-paid fuel
Health insurance
Paid vacation / PTO
Retirement benefits
Company-provided equipment and support
Opportunity for increased responsibility and advancement

Pay will reflect experience, leadership ability, and what you can bring to the company.

If you're already a strong HVAC technician but feel like you've hit a ceiling where you're currently working, this may be the opportunity to take the next step.

Schedule Full-time, Monday through Friday, with overtime available and additional hours when needed.
