German term
Australia
Sydney-based accredited translator
Native in: English 
Works in: Russian to English, German to English
HSL-Monteur
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
This is from a confirmation of employment that says nothing else apart from "we confirm that you were employed as a HSL -Monteur between certain dates".
I know this is literally Heating, sanitation, ventilation fitter but I don't know the standard or best English term. "heating and plumbing fitter?"

HVAC fitter and plumber
is how I'd word this; they are two diferent trades in the UK, and also (by inference) in the USA? At least, according to "Wikipedia":

I do aggree. Perhaps your translation would be a better fit. In most cases an HVAC installer is also a plumber. This is at least so with all my contractors.

: ... but only if you are sure that HSL does mean "Heizungs-, Sanitär- und Lüfungs.." (HVAC is normally "Heizungs- und Klimatechnik")
