Clayton Services is searching for an HVAC Test Technician (Test Stand) to join a high-growth manufacturing operation in North Houston.

This role is built for technicians with commercial HVAC experience only—especially those who have worked with large-scale systems, chillers, or packaged units in a test lab or production environment.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Run functional and performance testing on commercial HVAC systems using test stands
• Set up and operate test equipment, instrumentation, and data collection systems
• Interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and test procedures
• Troubleshoot failed units and identify root cause issues (mechanical + electrical)
• Record and analyze test data, pressures, temperatures, and flow rates
• Partner with engineering and production teams to resolve issues quickly
• Adjust and configure test setups based on engineering specs
• Ensure all units meet quality standards prior to shipment
• Perform routine calibration and maintenance on testing equipment

What They're Looking For:

• Commercial HVAC experience required (no residential-only backgrounds)
• Experience testing chillers, large tonnage units, or commercial systems
• Hands-on work with test stands, lab environments, or manufacturing testing
• Strong understanding of HVAC system performance metrics (pressure, temp, flow)
• Ability to troubleshoot electrical and mechanical failures
• Comfortable using gauges, meters, and diagnostic tools
• Able to read and interpret technical drawings and schematics
• Experience in a manufacturing or production environment is highly preferred

Background:

• 2+ years of HVAC testing, lab testing, or related mechanical experience
• Technical training or HVAC certification preferred
• Experience with major manufacturers (Daikin, Trane, Carrier, Goodman, etc.) is a big plus

Additional Requirements:

• Must pass background check and drug screen
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work on feet for extended periods

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work on commercial-grade HVAC systems (not residential service calls)
• Strong overtime potential
• Clear path to permanent hire with full benefits
• Join a growing manufacturing team with consistent demand
