* M&A support — deal preparation, due diligence, and integration during active periods
You'll need:
* 5+ years in commercial HVAC, M&E, refrigeration or building services
* Demonstrable track record of B2B contract wins (named clients, named values)
* Comfort surveying live sites and producing scopes/quotes independently
* F-Gas qualification highly desirable; healthcare, retail or hospitality network a major plus
