The commercial environment provides the Journey-Level Technician job diversity, ranging from new facility set-ups to existing facility retro-fits, and the opportunity to work with the latest technology on large centrifugal chillers, split systems, boilers, pumps, air handler units, piping, heat exchangers and associated equipment. Journey-Level Technicians gain a strong understanding of electrical technology and digital controls in order to install the electrical and electronic equipment for the HVAC systems.
