Who We Are
Tribal Warrior Services
Tribal Warrior has come together with Climatech in a Joint Venture (JV). This JV – Tribal Warrior Services – is registered with Supply Nation as a First Nations owned and operated business.
The mechanical systems that Tribal Warrior Services provide include ventilation, smoke exhaust and essential services, heating and cooling, refrigeration and building management systems, and building energy analytics and diagnostics. We offer turnkey mechanical solutions that can be counted entirely towards your APP/APIC contract spend requirements.
