Pool Equipment Service & Repair Technician
Rolling Meadows, IL | Full-Time
Sunset Pools & Spas, Inc. is a family-owned company that designs, builds, renovates, and services high-end custom swimming pools throughout Chicagoland. We’ve built our reputation on quality work and taking care of our customers. We’re growing, and we’re looking for a sharp technician to grow with us.
The Role
This is a hands-on troubleshooting and repair job, not a cleaning route. Modern pool equipment runs on circuit boards and smart controls — we work with the Pentair line (IntelliCenter automation, IntelliFlo3 pumps, MasterTemp and ETi heaters, MicroBrite lighting). When a heater won’t fire or a pump throws a fault code, we need someone who can diagnose the problem and fix it — not just swap parts and hope.
Who We’re Looking For
The right person thinks for themselves, works the problem, and uses the resources around them to get equipment running. You don’t need pool experience — if you’ve done diagnostic and repair work in HVAC, appliance repair, automotive, electrical, marine, or small engines, your skills translate directly and we’ll teach you the pool side. If you do have pool experience, even better.
What matters most:
- Strong problem-solving and a willingness to dig into a problem until it’s solved
- Working knowledge of basic electrical, gas, PVC/plumbing, and an ability to learn water chemistry
- Comfortable reading wiring diagrams, error codes, and equipment manuals
- Reliable, professional, and good with customers
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (required)
- Reliable transportation to work
- English required; Spanish a plus
What You’ll Do
- Diagnose and repair pool filtration, heating, automation, and lighting equipment
- Troubleshoot water chemistry issues
- Open and close pools and perform weekly maintenance as needed
- Document your work and communicate clearly with customers
