Why Join Us
If you’re a Red Seal HVAC pro tired of feeling like just another number, this is for you. You won’t just be another tech; you will be a foundational part of our growth, helping build out the new team and refine the processes that ensure our success. We provide a clear path to leadership - whether that’s project management, quoting, or operations - supported by a culture with no egos and no BS.
What You’ll Be Doing
You will lead HVAC installations, service work, and maintenance across single-family homes, multi-story residential developments, and commercial properties.
Technical Excellence:
- System Expertise: Diagnose faults and deliver clear solutions for heat pumps, rooftop units, VRFs, split systems, furnaces, water heaters, boilers, and various commercial kitchen equipment.
- Team Building: Play a key role in building the new service team and establishing efficient workflows.
- Mentorship: Lead and mentor apprentices and junior technicians as the team expands.
- Process & Organization: Maintain a highly organized, process-driven approach, using job management software for precise notes, time entries, and updates.
- Professionalism: Keep your van, tools, and job sites clean and organized while communicating clearly with clients and the office team.
- Compliance: Complete all work to code, spec, and schedule.
What We’re Looking For
We need someone who can walk onto a site, own the job, and bring others up with them.
- Certification: Certified Refrigeration and A/C Mechanic (Red Seal) – Required.
- Gas Tickets: Class B Gas Ticket – Required; Class A Gas Ticket is beneficial.
- Electrical: Class B-R FSR Certificate – Required.
- Experience: 5+ years of real-world HVAC and commercial equipment experience.
- Mindset: Highly organized, process-oriented, and a leadership-first attitude.
- Requirements: Valid driver’s licence and clean record.
Career Growth & Culture
We are serious about growing leaders. Within 6–12 months, you could be quoting and managing your own projects or shadowing a senior PM on commercial builds.
Our Core Values:
- Honesty & Trust: We communicate openly and own our decisions.
- Consistency: We deliver the same high-quality standard every time.
- Innovation: We use smart technology and find better ways to solve problems.
- Clarity: No guesswork - we keep communication simple so everyone is aligned.
- Selflessness: We put the team first and work for the best outcome of the job.
This isn’t a place to hide out; it’s a place to step up and build a real career alongside good people who care.
