New job

[addamsmasher]

I've accepted a new job that finally gets me into commercial work specializing in stoltz liebert systems, as well as rooftops.

Thing is I have very little experience the new company knows it and they're going to train me.

So, any advice?

Best advice is to get as much training as possible from them, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and always be honest with your boss and fellow techs (especially about your abilities and skills). As a Manager, I always tell my guys to be fully honest with me. If they can’t figure out the problem, then call me (after trying on their own for about an hour or so) and let me know. I want them to try figuring out the problem on their own, but I also want them to learn and feel that they have support. I have sent my techs to various training classes, but nothing can compare to real life service calls. Everyday is a new adventure.

Ask questions and don't be afraid to make mistakes. We all do, but the best techs learn from them. Remember the basic fundamentals for hvac they apply to every system. Best of luck.

pay attention in the classes you'll be going to, there will probably be test after, and don't be reluctant to ask questions,you're there to learn

Congratulations!
You did residential before??

Your late night stress has just changed from "i need to get these people heat"
To "I need to get these servers cool or they will crash and they will lose millions"

Don't be afraid to ask.

Don't second guess yourself.

Regardless of your level of confidence, display nothing but complete confidence in front of the customers... They can smell blood, you know.

Don't be afraid to dig in and tear something up. You have let the magic smoke out a few times before you really learn.

Go the extra mile and leave the jobsite safe and orderly.

Recognize when it's time to move on; a lot of supervisors and managers subscribe to the "once an apprentice, always an apprentice" line of thinking.
