Senior HVAC Technician - Pathway to Technical Specialist
Are you a Senior HVAC Technician, Ready for the next step? Join a growing Auckland team with varied work & a pathway into technical leadership.
East Tamaki base but work Auckland wide | Permanent position | 32 hours per week
Have you built a strong career on the tools and reached the point where you’re ready to become the person others turn to for technical guidance?
Energy Efficient Solutions is looking for a highly experienced Senior HVAC Technician to join our growing team. Initially, this will be a hands-on role across installation, servicing and fault-finding. Over time, however, we want this person to develop into our technical specialist, supporting the team, contributing to technical job planning and helping shape the technical standards of the business.
This is an opportunity to use the experience you’ve built throughout your career while creating a genuine pathway beyond full-time work on the tools.
What’s on offer
A competitive hourly rate reflecting your experience
A permanent position working 32 hours per week
Varied work across residential, commercial and industrial projects
A supportive, experienced and growing team
The opportunity to mentor and develop other HVAC professionals
Genuine influence over the technical standards and future capability of the business
A clear pathway toward a technical specialist and more office-based position
What you’ll be doing
You’ll remain actively involved in HVAC work while also becoming a trusted technical resource for the wider team. Your responsibilities will include:
Installing residential, commercial and industrial HVAC systems
Diagnosing faults, completing repairs and carrying out preventative maintenance
Supporting complex technical decisions and resolving challenges on site
Working closely with customers, builders, clients and other trades
Mentoring junior and developing HVAC technicians
Providing practical guidance on installation methods, fault-finding and good trade practice
Assisting with job planning, site coordination and technical problem-solving
Maintaining high standards of workmanship, safety and professionalism
Supporting the owner and wider team with your technical knowledge and experience
What we’re looking for
This is a genuinely senior position, suited to someone with substantial HV AC experience and the confidence to lead through their knowledge and workmanship.
You’ll ideally bring:
At least 10 years’ hands-on experience within the HV AC industry
Broad experience across residential, commercial and industrial environments
Strong capability across installation, servicing, maintenance and troubleshooting
The ability to diagnose problems and provide practical, well-considered solutions
A high standard of workmanship and genuine pride in doing the job properly
The confidence to mentor others and share your knowledge
Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills
The ability to work independently and lead by example
A full New Zealand driver’s licence
A positive, reliable and professional approach
Where this role could take you
This is not an immediate desk role, we need someone who is willing and able to remain hands-on initially.
However, as you become established within the business, there is genuine potential to transition into a more office-based technical position.
This could include quoting, job planning, project coordination, technical support, staff development and team leadership.
We’re looking for someone who can become an important part of Energy Efficient Solutions for the long term: someone whose knowledge is respected, whose standards strengthen the team and who is ready to take the next step in their HV AC career.
If you have the technical depth, practical experience and desire to become a trusted leader within a growing HVAC business, we’d love to hear from you.
