Commercial HVAC Lead Installer

Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.
Portland, OR Full Time
POSTED ON 7/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/23/2026
Location: Portland, OR Pay Range: $37.00 - $48.00/hour (based on experience)

Run the Job. Lead the Crew. Deliver Results.

For nearly seven decades, Jacobs Heating and Air Conditioning has been a trusted name for commercial HVAC solutions across the Portland and Vancouver markets. Our reputation comes from consistent execution, strong field leadership, and doing work we're proud to stand behind.

We're a family-owned company that believes in steady work, developing our people, and giving top performers the opportunity to take ownership in the field.

We're hiring an Experienced Commercial HVAC Lead Installer who can step into a leadership role on active job sites, manage crews, and drive projects to completion with quality and efficiency.

What You'll Get

  • Medical and dental coverage (company pays ~85% for employees)
  • 401(k) with company match after 1 year (50% up to 6%)
  • Paid time off 6 paid holidays
  • Company vehicle for work use
  • Monthly cell phone stipend
  • Ongoing technical training and development
  • A team-focused environment where your work actually matters

What You'll Be Doing

This is a field leadership role, not just install work. You'll be responsible for driving projects forward and ensuring everything runs smoothly on-site.

  • Lead commercial HVAC installs from kickoff through final completion
  • Install equipment, duct systems, and related components to spec
  • Interpret plans, drawings, and submittals to guide execution
  • Coordinate with project managers, GCs, and internal teams
  • Plan labor needs and communicate with leadership weekly
  • Build material lists and support fabrication
  • Run jobsite safety meetings and maintain compliance
  • Keep projects on track with daily reporting and updates
  • Maintain clean, organized, and professional job sites

What You Bring

  • Strong blueprint and spec reading ability
  • Solid background in commercial HVAC installation (ductwork equipment)
  • Experience leading crews or running projects in the field
  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing quality
  • Clear communication and strong organization skills
  • Valid driver's license with a clean record

Physical Demands

  • Ability to lift up to 100 lbs
  • Frequent standing, walking, climbing, and working at heights
  • Comfortable working in tight or confined spaces when needed
  • Capable of handling tools and equipment safely throughout the day

Why This Role Stands Out

If you're tired of being "just another installer" and want real ownership over your projects, this role gives you that. You'll have the authority to lead, the support to succeed, and the opportunity to grow with a company that values long-term careers-not short-term fixes.

Ready to Step Up?

If you can lead from the front, keep jobs moving, and hold a high standard for your work, we want to talk.
