Professional development
We believe in treating each employee as an individual with advancement opportunities based on their ambition, capabilities, and performance.

For one thing, our expertise in variable refrigerant flow (VRF) allow us to offer customers a solution that reduces energy consumption compared to traditional chilling systems. We're also proactively updating systems and processes to enhance efficiency.

Great environment
You'll find a fast-paced environment and entrepreneurial spirit here, and people enjoy working together toward shared goals.

Strong values
Certain values have guided our family-run company for two generations, and we believe they are crucial to our success:

• Unmatched quality and efficiency are our top priorities.

We realize that there will be a learning curve as you come on board, but we'll also expect you to leverage your experience and expertise to get up to speed quickly. This is a great role if you are an operations leader with a touch of "efficiency geek."

You'll find the team open to new ideas, and your ability to influence and motivate others will serve you well. However, there may also be times when you need to be the "new sheriff in town" and make tough decisions.

The pace is fast and stress can run high at times. You should be the stable "anchor" for your team in those circumstances, modeling a level-headed approach to working through it all. In general, as a leader, you should articulate common goals, clarify expectations, provide support and hold people accountable.
