HVAC/R Installation Technician (Traveling)

A venture-backed technology company that installs energy and temperature monitoring hardware for multi-location restaurant and convenience retail operators is adding one HVAC technician to its in-house install team. You will fly into a region on Monday, install smart thermostats, sensors, and WiFi equipment across a cluster of commercial sites, and finish every install with the equipment online and reporting. The work is clean, repeatable installation rather than heavy repair, and days are planned around eight hours. A solid HVAC technician with about two years of experience who is ready to travel, and wants real ownership of the job plus equity upside, will find a step up here.
