Beck Cohen is hiring a Lead Residential HVAC Installer to run residential replacement and heat pump installation jobs in the Charlottesville area. This is a lead role, not a helper role.

We are looking for an experienced installer who can lead an installation assistant, deliver clean workmanship, communicate well with homeowners, and keep jobs moving professionally from start to finish.

  • Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Retirement plan with company match
  • Paid training and tuition reimbursement
  • 7 paid holidays
  • Paid time off: 1 week after 1 year, 2 weeks after 5 years
  • A team that values respect, professionalism, smart tradecraft, and work-life balance

What You’ll Do

  • Lead residential HVAC replacement/changeout jobs from start to finish
  • Install heat pumps, air conditioners, furnaces, ventilation systems, ductwork, and related accessories
  • Work with and direct an installation assistant
  • Protect the customer’s home and maintain a clean, organized jobsite
  • Perform startup, testing, and basic troubleshooting
  • Complete installation paperwork and job documentation accurately
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with homeowners throughout the job
  • Follow safety procedures and company installation standards every day
  • Perform occasional light commercial installation work as needed

What We’re Looking For

  • 3 years of HVAC installation experience preferred (If you need a wider funnel, you can drop this to 2 years, but I would start at 3 for a true lead role.)
  • Strong experience in residential replacement/changeout work
  • Experience installing heat pumps and standard residential HVAC systems
  • Ability to lead a helper/assistant and keep the job on track
  • Strong customer service and communication skills
  • English fluency required for homeowner communication and jobsite safety
  • Valid driver’s license and an insurable driving record
  • EPA 608 preferred
  • NATE certification and/or Virginia Journeyman/Master HVAC license is a plus
  • Bilingual English/Spanish welcome, not required
