About the Role
DACUT Cannabis is seeking an experienced, hands-on HVAC Technician to support the critical environmental systems within our commercial cultivation facilities in Flint, Michigan.
HVAC is one of the most important systems within an indoor cultivation operation. This position is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, diagnosing, and repairing commercial HVAC, dehumidification, ventilation, and environmental control equipment to ensure our cultivation rooms maintain consistent temperature, humidity, airflow, and growing conditions.
This is not a residential HVAC position. We are looking for someone with strong commercial HVAC experience who is comfortable troubleshooting complex equipment in a high-demand environment where equipment downtime can directly impact a live crop.
Experience working with CaptiveAire, Agronomic IQ, and AAON systems is highly preferred. Candidates with direct experience maintaining HVAC and environmental systems within cannabis cultivation, controlled-environment agriculture, manufacturing, or other large commercial facilities will receive strong consideration.
The ideal candidate is mechanically inclined, proactive, and capable of identifying problems before they become major failures.
