Company DescriptionRackAir has spent 35 years as the mechanical service partner property managers rely on. We are now opening in Toronto, and we are hiring the technicians who will build this branch.
We are an established, profitable, owner-operated union company large enough to pay properly and run professionally, small enough that the owner answers his own phone. We serve commercial property managers, building owners, hotels, and senior living operators under one standard: Built on Accountability.
We are proven where we come from and new in Toronto. The technicians we hire now will shape this branch and lead it.
Role DescriptionYou will be one of the first technicians in this branch.
At a large shop, you are a number in a fleet. Here, you are a founding technician. As the branch grows and it is funded to grow lead technician and service manager roles go first to the people who earned them in the field. That commitment goes in your offer letter, in writing.
The role: full-time, field-based commercial HVAC/R service across the GTA, dispatched from our Etobicoke shop. Rooftop units, chillers, makeup air units, fan coils, VFD-driven systems, and commercial refrigeration. Preventive maintenance programs built to prevent failures, not complete checklists. Direct contact with property managers and facility directors you represent the company on site, and you are treated accordingly.
What we owe you and we hold ourselves to it:
- Parts staged before you roll
- Dispatch that respects your time
- Pay that is accurate, every pay period
- An owner who shows up on site and stands behind his technicians Accountability runs in both directions here.
