Get Paid to Learn a Skilled Trade

Working in construction, roofing, HVAC, landscaping, maintenance, installation, warehouse, delivery, or another hands-on job?

Your experience may be exactly what we're looking for.

Northeastern Masonry & Chimney is hiring a Chimney Technician Apprentice and will provide paid, hands-on training to the right person.

You do NOT need chimney experience to apply.

We're looking for someone who is dependable, mechanically inclined, comfortable with physical work, and interested in turning those abilities into a long-term skilled-trade career.

If you're ready for something with better opportunities to learn, develop new skills, and advance, we'd like to talk with you.

Your Experience May Transfer Better Than You Think

You may already have many of the skills we're looking for if you've worked in:

  • Construction
  • Roofing
  • HVAC
  • Landscaping
  • Warehouse operations
  • Delivery
  • Maintenance
  • Carpentry
  • Masonry
  • Home improvement
  • Appliance or equipment installation
  • Mechanical repair
  • Property maintenance
  • General labor
  • Other physically active, hands-on jobs

We'll teach you the chimney-specific skills.

We're more interested in your work ethic, reliability, mechanical ability, and willingness to learn.

What You'll Learn

You'll work alongside experienced technicians and receive hands-on training in:

  • Chimney and fireplace inspections
  • Chimney cleaning and maintenance
  • Fireplace and chimney repairs
  • Chimney and fireplace installations
  • Basic masonry and construction
  • Using hand and power tools
  • Proper ladder setup
  • Rooftop and job-site safety
  • Preparing tools and materials
  • Protecting customers' homes while working
  • Troubleshooting common chimney and fireplace problems
  • Professional customer communication
  • Maintaining tools, equipment, and company vehicles

You'll start by assisting experienced technicians and take on additional responsibilities as your skills and knowledge grow.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

This isn't a job where you'll stand in one place doing the same thing all day.

You'll travel to customers' homes and work on different projects.

One day you may help inspect and clean a chimney. Another day you may assist with masonry repairs, fireplace work, chimney components, or an installation.

You'll use tools, climb ladders, work outdoors, solve problems, and learn from experienced technicians.

You'll be getting paid while developing skills that can lead to your own technician position.

Who We're Looking For

You could be a great fit if you:

  • Show up on time and ready to work
  • Are dependable and take your job seriously
  • Enjoy working with your hands
  • Are mechanically inclined
  • Like learning how things work
  • Can follow instructions
  • Take pride in doing quality work
  • Work well with a team
  • Communicate professionally
  • Are comfortable working outdoors
  • Are comfortable with ladders and heights
  • Can handle a physically active workday
  • Want to learn new skills and increase your responsibilities

Previous chimney experience is NOT required.

Requirements

  • Valid driver's license
  • Acceptable driving record
  • Reliable transportation to and from work
  • Ability to lift and carry approximately 50–80 pounds as required
  • Ability to safely climb and work from ladders
  • Ability to work on rooftops
  • Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
  • Ability to follow safety procedures and instructions
  • Dependable attendance and punctuality

Construction or skilled-trade experience is helpful, but we're willing to train the right person.

Pay & Benefits

$22.00–$27.00 per hour

Starting pay within the range is based on experience, skills, and qualifications.

Benefits include:

  • Paid hands-on training
  • Full-time employment
  • Year-round work
  • Health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Bonus opportunities
  • Certification opportunities
  • Opportunities for increased responsibility and advancement

Start as an Apprentice. Grow Into a Technician.

This isn't intended to be a dead-end helper position.

The goal is to develop you into a skilled Chimney Service Technician.

You'll start by working alongside experienced technicians and learning the fundamentals of chimney service, fireplaces, masonry, repairs, installations, job-site safety, and customer service.

As you demonstrate your skills and knowledge, you'll have opportunities to take on more responsibility and advance.

Looking for Something Better?

If you're currently working in a warehouse, construction crew, roofing company, landscaping company, HVAC shop, maintenance department, delivery position, installation job, or another physically demanding role, don't assume you need chimney experience.

Your existing skills and work ethic may be exactly what we're looking for.

We'll teach you the trade.

You bring the reliability, willingness to work, and desire to learn.
