The Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Industrial Refrigeration Technician to join our custom manufacturing team.

You will be responsible for the assembly, brazing, and testing of high-precision systems designed for extreme environments.

• Custom OEM Assembly: Build and integrate specialized refrigeration systems from the ground up, including custom-engineered chillers and environmental control units.
• Precision Brazing & Piping: Perform high-quality copper-to-copper and copper-to-brass brazing; layout and install complex refrigerant piping based on custom CAD drawings.
• System Commissioning: Charge systems with various refrigerants and perform rigorous pressure testing and vacuum dehydration to meet stringent industrial standards.
• Electrical Integration: Wire control panels and integrate sensors/transducers; troubleshoot complex 3-phase electrical systems and PLC interfaces.
• Quality Assurance: Ensure every unit meets custom project specifications and survives "worst-case scenario" performance testing for oil & gas or military applications.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 5–10 years of experience in HVAC/R, specifically with custom builds, specialized OEM manufacturing, or high-spec industrial systems.
• Sector Knowledge: Experience with explosion-proof (XP) systems for Petrochem or ultra-low temp (ULT) systems for Biotech is a major advantage.
• Technical Skills: Expert-level blueprint reading (P&IDs and electrical schematics) and mastery of precision measuring and testing tools.
• Requirements: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for 10-hour shifts, and maintain a high level of attention to detail for mission-critical equipment.
