HVAC Service Technician 1

Job Description Job Description

HVAC TECHNICIAN
Columbus, MS

Join a growing HVAC company where 3 focused calls a day (not 4) means real time for full system diagnoses - not rushed patch jobs. This is a shop that pays for your training, funds your tools, and rewards you for doing the job right with real commission on top of a strong base.

THE BASICS
Location: Columbus, MS
Pay: $25-$30/hr base + commission (3% on service tickets; 4-6% tiered on system installs; first month's payment on service plans)

On-Call: Rotating on-call schedule; last call taken by 8:00 PM. Weekend work limited to emergencies or service-plan customers. $200 stipend + time-and-a-half for hours beyond 8/day.
