Building Equipment Contractors

Building equipment contractors install, maintain, and repair the mechanical systems that keep buildings working, such as heating, cooling, plumbing-related equipment, ventilation, and related controls. Job seekers may find roles like HVAC technician, plumbing/equipment installer, maintenance mechanic, and service technicians who troubleshoot problems on-site. Work is often hands-on in occupied or active buildings, may involve some crawlspaces or rooftops, and can include shift work or on-call service for urgent repairs.
