Experienced HVAC installer? Comfortable leading a crew? Take pride in doing the job right the first time?
Frontier Heating & A/C Service is looking for an experienced, dependable Lead HVAC Installer to expand our team.
We are a local, family-owned HVAC company that has been serving Western New York for more than 35 years. We are looking for an installer who can lead residential HVAC installations, make good decisions in the field, maintain high-quality workmanship, and take ownership of each installation from start to finish.
This is not just a position where you show up and install equipment. We want someone who can take charge of a job, work independently, guide other installers, solve problems as they arise, and make sure every system is installed correctly, safely, and professionally.
Compensation:$30-$35 per hour based on experience PLUS commission and overtime opportunities
Experienced lead installers who demonstrate strong technical ability, leadership, efficiency, and quality workmanship have opportunities to increase their earnings.
