    HVAC Technicians typically report to HVAC Service Managers, who are responsible for providing guidance and ensuring technicians carry out their duties accurately.

    What should you look for in an HVAC Technician's resume?

    Consider whether an applicant performed the duties and responsibilities of an HVAC Technician in their former role. Also, check whether a candidate possesses technical skills such as problem-solving and analytical skills. Applicants with welding or soldering experience and relevant training certificates may be an asset to your organization.
