About this role
At SpaceX's Cape Canaveral facility, this temporary HVAC technician role supports the mechanical systems that keep launch and facility operations running smoothly. You'll maintain and repair a range of equipment—air handlers, chillers, cooling towers, boilers, and associated ductwork and piping—while adhering to strict OSHA, EPA, and industry standards. The work includes preventative maintenance, brazing and soldering, refrigerant handling, and collaboration with engineering teams to keep systems in peak condition. The position runs night shifts (either Sunday–Wednesday or Wednesday–Saturday, 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.) and may require overtime.
The role demands hands-on technical competency: you'll need an EPA 608 Universal certificate and at least one year of professional experience with HVAC, pneumatic, mechanical, or electrical systems. Preferred qualifications include an associate degree in HVAC technology, familiarity with high-pressure and refrigeration gases, experience with HEPA filtration and building management systems, and the ability to troubleshoot VFDs. You must be comfortable working at heights, in confined spaces, and around fumes and noise, and capable of lifting 50 pounds regularly.
This is a three-month temporary assignment with the possibility of permanent conversion based on performance and business needs. You'll need to pass an Air Force background check and meet ITAR citizenship or residency requirements. The role suits someone with solid HVAC fundamentals looking for hands-on experience in a mission-critical environment, though the temporary nature and demanding night-shift schedule are important considerations.
