Carrier is seeking a 2nd Shift HVAC Supervisor & Engineering Lab Technician for our Charlotte manufacturing facility. This is a hands-on working supervisor role: we are looking for a technical lead who is ready to contribute to the labor and technical execution alongside their team. You will lead the transition from 1st shift to 2nd shift, acting as the primary supervisor for the facility’s lab operations during these hours to ensure continuity and test lab productivity. The HVAC Supervisor & Engineering Lab Technician reports to the Lab Manager.

This role is designed for someone who thrives in complex, high-speed environments. You will manage massive infrastructure, including high flow hydronic pumping systems (up to 4,000 GPM) and high-power electrical setups. We value reliability and the "detective mindset" required for troubleshooting and diagnostics during a critical production ramp up. If you are a hands-on leader ready to bridge the gap between technical execution and team coordination, we want you on our team.

This is a high visibility, high impact position. Our customers, ranging from hospitals to data centers, rely on these chillers for mission critical cooling.

Key Responsibilities

• Team Leadership: Lead and organize a team of technicians (run techs and setup techs) to conduct water-cooled and air-cooled chiller testing.
• Hands On Testing: Personally execute test runs, set up chillers with relevant instrumentation (flow meters, pressure sensors, etc.), and monitor data acquisition systems.
• Facility Oversight: Manage and monitor support infrastructure, including boilers, cooling towers, and high-pressure pumping systems.
• Diagnostics: Identify failures in PLCs or instrumentation; coordinate with maintenance to resolve issues and minimize downtime.
