As an HVAC Field Support Design Engineer, you will provide essential support to customers and field service technicians for HVAC equipment and systems. This role primarily involves identifying sheet metal and mechanical parts in the HVAC units (using Solidworks, drawings, spreadsheets, etc.) for field repairs or modifications. This involves generating a Bill of Materials, quoting parts, or providing custom field work instructions. In this role you will develop your skills in following root cause analysis methods and working with the validation lab to determine the most effective solutions for the field and provide feedback to the manufacturing team for continuous improvement. Over time, you will expand your knowledge on various HVAC topics (electrical, refrigeration, energy recovery, PLC's, etc.) to improve your ability to diagnose multi-disciplinary issues working through field technicians. Continuous development programs are provided by KCC to improve your understanding of these topics. Occasionally, traveling to jobsites to determine root cause and solutions may be required or for customer support. Because of that, this role requires occasional travel up to 25%, limited to no longer than 5 days and 4 nights, Monday-Friday. This role is a great fit for engineers looking to expand their technical knowledge and develop hands-on skills, with a high potential for career growth at a growing company.
