What are the responsibilities and job description for the Vent Apprentice / Technician position at Vent Pro: Duct & Vent Care?
Vent Apprentice / Technician
Position Overview
We clean and repair dryer vents, and we service bathroom and kitchen exhaust ducts, to keep our customers' homes and businesses safe, efficient, and fire-free. There are many dryer fires in the United States each year due to a lack of dryer vent maintenance, and property owners need their vents cleaned regularly to mitigate that fire hazard, along with water damage, premature appliance wear, and corroding ductwork. We make our customers vents and ducts clean, safe, and efficient and we do it better than anyone else, with greater knowledge, superior equipment, well-trained technicians, and a level of specialized service no one else matches.
This position starts as a paid Apprentice, where we train you to become a full Technician. For the right person, this isn't just a job, it's a career.
What You'll Do
- Inspect dryer exhaust systems, ductwork, and venting components to find blockages and hazards
- Clean dryer vents and service bathroom and kitchen exhaust ducts by hand using specialized tools and equipment
- Safely use ladders and get on roofs to reach elevated or hard-to-access vents
- Access attics and crawlspaces as needed to inspect or service venting
- Use hand tools to disassemble, reassemble, and repair vent components for optimal airflow and safety
- Follow all safety protocols and wear proper PPE (gloves, masks, respirators)
- Safely handle heavy lifting when moving duct sections or equipment
- Communicate clearly with clients about the work performed and safety measures taken
What We're Looking For
- Experience in the home service industry (dryer vents, HVAC, plumbing, pest control, roofing, or similar)
- Comfortable with hand tools and hands-on repair work
- Not afraid of heights — okay working on roofs and ladders
- Physically able to get into attics and crawlspaces from time to time
- Able to handle heavy lifting and manual work safely
- Willing to commute to Phoenix on some days of the week
- Strong customer service skills and a professional, reliable attitude
- Available to start training as soon as possible
Compensation & Benefits
- Ride-alongs (first 3 days) — $100 cash per day, so we can both make sure it's a good fit
- Apprenticeship (in training) — $18-20/hour, paid weekly, while you learn the trade
- Technician (once trained) — move to a strong commission-based structure with real earning potential; estimated $45,000–$80,000/year
- Simple IRA with company matching
- Paid time off (PTO)
- Sick Pay
- Vacation Pay
