• Monitor the performance of air conditioning systems to ensure they are operating at optimal efficiency.
• Recommend upgrades, retrofits, or modifications to improve system efficiency, reduce energy consumption, or extend system life.
• Work on projects related to energy-saving technologies, such as high-efficiency AC units, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, or smart thermostats.

Team Management and Training:

• Provide training to new or existing technicians on the latest HVAC technologies, troubleshooting techniques, and safety procedures.
• Ensure that all technicians are up-to-date with certifications and licenses (e.g., EPA certification for handling refrigerants).
• Lead team meetings to discuss work orders, safety issues, and team performance.

Inventory and Equipment Management:

• Manage the inventory of parts, tools, and materials required for AC system maintenance and repairs.
• Ensure that necessary supplies are available for quick response to emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance.
• Order replacement parts and maintain relationships with vendors and suppliers.

Customer Interaction and Client Relations:
