How to Interview a Maintenance Technician

On this video I go through some job interview questions for maintenance technicians. Interviewing a maintenance technician differs from property to property because no property is the same. However, with the questions posed in this video, these interview questions for maintenance technicians will work anywhere.

I'm glad that you gave me the correct answers. I will stop by your office at 9 am tomorrow for my interview. Great video. 😎

I was a machinist in the navy for 7 years. I’m finally getting back out in the civilian work force and I appreciate you for making this transition a little easier for me.

Great questions Lex. Up here in New England HVAC techs start at $30 an hour with no experience, and average $40-$65 an hour with experience. Same for plumbers, electricians, and pipe fitters, because no one up here is going into the trades. All the college Millennials want an office job inside, out of the heat and freezing cold. That's whats driving the hourly rates up here very high.

Strangely enough I took hvac course at my college, got EPA uni and a osha 10, I have yet to do alot hvac work but every company is immediately interested in fact I have this card, I literally don't know why it matters, but companies treat this has gold.

I thought about going into Maintenance to get away from just doing HVAC but the pay sucks. I think it’s crazy they want you to know all the trades but want to pay you crap. I make over 60k/yr and the last job ad I saw for maintenance was for $15/hr. Hell to the Naw.
Thanks for the content I’ll keep watching and liking.

And I hate how alot of people assume that your a pro if you have some certificate. Its the hands on experience is what makes you more valuable along with a passion of learning.

Lex you're such a blessing, I'm a Fitter trade from Namibia came across your channel and i just hit the like button... considering Australia 🇦🇺 and should be my final flight stop.

[workingshlub]

100% agree on the EPA card...i have mine and i still have alot to learn on the A/C side...i know the basics of troubleshooting but im much stronger on the heating side working in new england....i eventually want to work down south so i figure get the universal and be done with it..

Hey thanks for making these videos! I'm trying to apply as a Maintenance technician at a national park and your videos have helped!

1. I like working on things and enjoy fixing things. If I cant fix it I want to learn how to fix it. 2. Yes I have my own tools 3. I know how to work on them but I am not epa certified. 4. I love learning new thing

[bubbieC]

Omg i have a job interview tomorrow, so im half ready lol but i believe im confident. Thank you 🙏🏾

[ultrafaga]

Why did you choose maintenance?:
My background is HVAC but maintenance is my PASSION. I love helping people and doing things for them that they can't do. Mixing my day with carpentry, electrical, plumbing and painting adds variety and challenge. Knowing that no two days are the same makes the day go by fast.

When can I start?? 😆

[kelm]

I have my epa card and just got hired on Friday. Like you said it means nothing, just looks good on your resume. Keep the videos going man👍🏽

[luistrabal]

Experience is a great thing but only goes so far if theres no people skills.Some can be taught and sometimes ive found that great personality and a good drive is a greenhorn golden ticket now a days.

[jordainian]

Keep the vids cominin! I’ve learned a lot from em. Still on call skid 👊

[MrTimrivero]

The 608 epa card certifies you to purchase and handle refrigerants. If you pay attention to the material it is pretty valuable in my opinion. They also have a HVAC preventative maintenance technician certification that is more involved. Most HVAC places in Oregon require you to at least have your 608, pm tech, and a Nate certification

[gotDIBS]

🖐 🤚 you said hand tools- the hvac question first thing I said was check for the leak then super heat test lol and I don’t even do hvac

[dennisyounker]

A lot of these compaines ask you if you have your "hvac licence" referring to EPA certification. Always cracks me up.

[braxtonboysmaintenance]

Those are the best questions and way I run our interviews.
