Job description

Shape the flow of business—one door at a time

At Vortex Doors, every day starts with purpose. You’ll inspect your truck, review your schedule, and head to the first customer site ready to keep critical operations moving. By noon, you may have diagnosed a rolling steel door with a broken spring, set a new closer on a storefront entry, and calibrated a low-voltage access control—always with safety, codes, and quality top of mind. In the afternoon, you could be back at a distribution dock installing hardware and performing final checks to our unsurpassed quality standards, then documenting your work so the customer—and our team—stay aligned.

• Specialized training on hollow metal doors, frames, and hardware.
• Strong safety culture, positive work environment, and recognition programs.
• Comprehensive compensation and benefits: health benefits, 401(k) match, 8 paid holidays, vacation/sick program.
