• EPA Section 608 Universal Certification: (Mandatory) Full authorization to handle Type I, II, and III refrigerants without restriction.
• Demonstrated knowledge of job site safety, lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) procedures, and ladder safety.

• System Charging: Precisely calculate and adjust refrigerant charges (R-410A, R-22, etc.) for large-tonnage equipment with complex piping runs.
• Work Order Dispatch: Monitor the CMMS dashboard to prioritize calls and assign routine PMs to the team based on geographical proximity and skill level.
• Asset History Tracking: Use the CMMS to document specific repair data (e.g., suction/discharge pressures, amp draws) to build a "digital birth certificate" for every 5–40-ton unit in the portfolio.
• Technical Mentorship: Act as the "on-call" resource for off hour and weekend emergency HVAC facility issues.
