11d•$38 - $56•Onsite

About The Position

Tempe Mechanical is hiring a Commercial HVAC Service Technician for its commercial-only HVAC service division. The company serves commercial, healthcare, municipal, and institutional clients across the Greater Phoenix Valley. The role requires verifiable commercial HVAC service experience in occupied buildings and focuses on diagnosing complex equipment and resolving problems to their root cause rather than simply replacing parts. Technicians use ServiceTrade for service documentation, with dispatch, scope clarity, and job readiness managed by the Service Manager. The technician diagnoses, repairs, and maintains commercial HVAC systems; makes data-backed repair-versus-replacement recommendations; identifies and documents deficiencies and additional work opportunities; and communicates with facility engineers, property managers, and general contractors. The role also includes mentoring junior technicians, maintaining real-time service records in ServiceTrade, and taking after-hours and emergency calls on rotation. Service calls take place across the Greater Phoenix Area. The corporate office is in Tempe, Arizona. Compensation is $38–$56 per hour, including performance-based incentive bonuses. The final rate depends on demonstrated commercial experience and equipment proficiency, verified in a technical interview.
