Responsibilities:

• Manage a high volume of HVAC work orders each day (20+), across multiple job sites
• Review technician reports, photos, and videos to verify diagnoses and spot issues early
• Scope jobs accurately—catching misdiagnoses, inflated bids, or missing components
• Provide clear, confident direction to licensed HVAC contractors—pushing back when needed
• Own communication across the job: from the field to internal operations to project wrap-up
• Uphold company quality standards and act as the final gatekeeper before approval and billing
• Use company internal platform and documentation tools to track job progress and ensure completion

Requirements:

• 3–5+ years of hands-on HVAC experience in residential service, repair, or diagnostics

• Experience reading and interpreting system tags, data plates, and field photos to validate technician findings
• Comfort identifying misdiagnoses, inflated bids, or unnecessary replacements
• Prior experience working directly with technicians or reviewing real-time work orders
• Clear, confident verbal communication—you need to push back with precision, not aggression
• Willingness to trade fieldwork for full-time remote employment
• Fast learning curve with new software—this role relies on a custom internal platform, not off-the-shelf tools
• Highly organized; able to manage dozens of open work orders simultaneously across multiple locations
• Fluency in English (verbal and written); clear and concise communicator
