- Follow all OSHA and Fraser safety procedures, and wear required PPE
- Communicate professionally with customers, coworkers, and supervisors

- OSHA 10
- Strong mechanical aptitude and a genuine interest in building a career in HVAC
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- Ability to lift 50 lbs, climb ladders, work at heights, and work in tight spaces, outdoors, and in varying weather
- Reliable, punctual, and willing to learn and take direction
Preferred (Not Required)
