  • Valid driver’s license with a clean motor vehicle record
  • HVAC experience is helpful but not required

  • Ability to lift and carry common building materials
  • Comfortable working in tight or cramped spaces when necessary

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

  • Flexible scheduling
  • Variety of residential repair and remodeling projects
  • Opportunity to develop into a project-lead position
  • Growing company with opportunities to learn additional skills
  • Potential travel to seminars or other professional-development opportunities
