About The Position

Nextech is hiring an HVAC/R Technician to provide reliable, high-quality service to commercial clients.

Technicians may participate in after-hours on-call rotations and travel to customer sites. The position is dispatched from home and includes paid port-to-port travel. Service details are documented using company-provided iPads, and technicians maintain their company vehicle, tools, and parts inventory.
