Compressed Air Systems Diagnostic Technician

Service region: Fredericksburg • Stafford • Williamsburg • Petersburg, VA

Make reliability your mission

Picture a plant where compressed air is the heartbeat. A line goes down. You arrive, evaluate a rotary screw, reciprocating, Centac, or ECC compressor with precision gauges, and restore operations. You leave behind a stable system, clear documentation, and a customer who trusts your expertise. That is the impact you will own every day at Ingersoll Rand.

Impact you will have

Commission and care: Install and commission Ingersoll Rand equipment; maintain and repair compressors and supporting components like dryers, filters, and cooling systems. Diagnose with confidence: Apply precision measuring tools and OEM operations/parts manuals to troubleshoot across multi-brand systems. Educate and advise: Train customers and field colleagues; translate diagnostics into actionable steps. Operate independently: Assess root causes, recommend remedies, and submit accurate reports and verbal updates to the factory without close supervision. Model professionalism: Uphold integrity, keep communications crisp, and ensure reports and expenses are thorough, legible, and on time. Steward company assets (credit cards, vehicle if assigned) responsibly.

What you bring

• 2–5 years troubleshooting industrial/commercial mechanical systems; familiarity with compressed air, centrifugal technologies, and control systems is a plus. Experience launching and servicing rotary and centrifugal compressors, dryers, cooling towers, and filtration is desirable.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Driver’s license held for 12+ months with no major or frequent violations (no DUI in the last 5 years; no hit & run, suspensions, reckless/careless driving; and no pattern of minor infractions or preventable collisions in the prior 3 years).

Skills that set you up to win

• Microsoft Office proficiency and solid computer literacy.
• Comfort with handheld/mobile computing (smartphone, iPad) and networked tools.
• Customer-first mindset: communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution.
• Smart travel habits that balance responsiveness and cost.
• Mechanical aptitude to master compressor systems and machinery.

Preferred credentials

• Electrical/Electronic Technology or HVAC studies covering AC/DC circuits, wiring diagrams/schematics, motors/controls, PLCs, HVAC electricity and controls, refrigeration systems, and/or refrigerant certification. Military background or equivalent mechanical experience is a plus; equivalent knowledge without a formal program is considered.
• EPA 608 / F-GAS 303/2008/CE/ISHRAE certification preferred.

Where and how you will work

• Exposure to mechanical rooms and industrial sites with loud equipment, inclement weather, heights, and high-voltage systems per NFPA or equivalent standards.
• Physical work: frequent hand use; walking, stooping, kneeling; and lifting/moving per safety policy.

Travel and on-call
