DuPont is currently seeking a skilled HVAC Technician to support facility operations at the Larkin Center site in Midland, Michigan.
This role operates, monitors, and maintains facility systems and utilities, with a primary focus on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), including system setup, maintenance, and balancing.
The HVAC Technician maintains, troubleshoots, and repairs mechanical components, electrical equipment, and related systems in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOPs), internal requirements, manufacturer specifications, and safety policies. The HVAC Technician performs complex tasks independently within established procedures and plays a key role in site continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities

- Preventive and corrective maintenance: Perform maintenance to minimize downtime and improve reliability. Conduct daily walkthroughs and inspections to support efficient facility operations.
- Equipment ownership and documentation: Perform inspections, calibrations, and verifications, and maintain accurate documentation in SAP.
