We teach commercial, industrial, and some residential.
Like the furnace in your house or boiler in your house.
We do dab a little bit into the commercial refrigeration.
That's what that rig is about behind me.
We have a four-year program and they are actively employed.
We teach them how to maintain and repair all that equipment.
This job is pretty unique because it doesn't require years and years of school.
I got in after trade school.
As a service tech there's a lot of troubleshooting involved.
You get to see something that doesn't work and you get to be the one to fix it.
A day typically looks like anything from a service call to working on projects to doing more preventative maintenance jobs.
There's a lot of technical stuff that goes along with what we do.
It's an ever changing industry so it's never boring.
There's always something new coming along to challenge you.
