Work Environment

This will be a HYBRID POSITION with fieldwork and office work that can be done from home. There are two offices in the area - Chicopee and Wallingford, but the role will primarily be home-based with an expectation that 25% of it will involve fieldwork. This may require some overnight travel as the work is mainly in the northeast, but you will be kept local to CT with hotel accommodations provided and weekends at home. The offices have a positive and energetic atmosphere. Managers are supportive, easy to talk to, and have a strong vision for the company. The company culture feels like a family-owned firm, though it is part of a larger multinational corporation specializing in HVAC, refrigeration, and fire and security equipment
