  • Work closely with HVAC technicians when electrical issues impact mechanical systems
  • Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to customers and internal teams
  • Maintain accurate service documentation and reports
  • Follow all safety standards, including OSHA guidelines

  • Experience working with:
    • Lighting systems
    • Electrical controls
