Job description
Shape the climate of the Bay Area with DMG (an Ambient Company)

Start your morning in Oakland, coffee in hand, reviewing a new build’s plans before heading to a customer site. By mid‑morning, you’re bringing a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system online, walking the installer through last‑mile checks, and loading control programs from a touchscreen interface. After lunch, you decipher a wiring schematic to resolve a controls issue on a commercial Daikin system. Before you wrap for the day, you submit startup documentation for warranty, update service reports, and touch base with the project team. That’s a typical day for a Commercial VRF Commissioning & Controls Specialist at DMG.

DMG is a growing sales and distribution company representing major HVAC equipment manufacturers. With 150+ employees and offices in Castro Valley, San Jose, Fremont, and the greater Bay Area, we offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and a close‑knit, family atmosphere. We’re part of Ambient—a collective of HVAC design and implementation experts across the U.S. and Canada.

What you’ll do
  • Serve as the on‑site startup technician for multiple OEMs on commercial projects.
  • Troubleshoot and validate installations of control systems on commercial Daikin, AAON, and LG HVAC equipment.
  • Program and configure new control systems using touchscreens and computers; verify setpoints and sequences.
  • Use logic and structured problem‑solving to diagnose system and controls issues; communicate directly with installing contractors.
  • Read and interpret HVAC wiring diagrams and schematics to guide troubleshooting.
  • Document all site actions on detailed service/startup reports and submit complete startup packages for warranty processing.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned and maintain consistent, reliable attendance.
What you know
  • HVAC trade practices, standards, and refrigeration theory.
  • Materials, methods, and tools for installing, operating, and repairing HVAC/R systems.
  • Electrical theory as applied to HVAC equipment and controls.
  • Automated temperature controls and BMS communications.
Hands‑on abilities
  • Read/interpret manuals and HVAC wiring schematics accurately.
  • Brazing and soldering techniques executed to standard.
  • Adherence to health and safety regulations on active jobsites.
  • Accurate record‑keeping and proper storage/handling of tools, equipment, and materials.
Advanced technical expertise
  • Proficiency with LG and AAON commercial systems and commercial package units.
  • Deep knowledge of VRF systems and refrigerant properties.
  • HVAC control systems setup, tuning, and troubleshooting.
  • Modern, computer‑based HVAC platforms; confident with email, web apps, office software, and basic networking.
  • Understanding of mechanical, electrical, and hydronic systems in commercial HVAC applications.
Qualifications
  • High school diploma or G.E.D.
  • Completion of a two‑year HVAC training program.
  • Valid California driver’s license.
  • Active EPA Universal Technician Certification.
  • Minimum 5 years of hands‑on experience with AAON equipment and 5 years with LG VRF systems.

Based in the Oakland, Bay Area, with projects across the greater Bay Area. DMG has offices in Castro Valley, San Jose, and Fremont.
