Job description

We’re Hiring: Commercial HVAC Technicians (Entry–Level to Lead Tech) – Earn Your Place

Location: Norristown, PA (Field-Based Role) | Pay Range: $18–$45/hour | Full-Time

Company Overview:

At Commercial Kitchen Ventilation, we specialize in the hard jobs. Service calls nobody wants. Rooftops nobody wants to climb. Problems nobody else can solve.

We’re a small, aggressive team where every technician counts — and every call is a chance to prove you belong. No passengers. No excuses. You’re either moving the needle or you’re not.

Position Summary:

We’re hiring Commercial HVAC Technicians at all levels — from green helpers to seasoned pros who lead the work.

Our focus: kitchen ventilation systems — hoods, ductwork, fans, rooftop gear — diagnosing airflow issues, capture problems, electrical faults, and mechanical failures under real-world conditions.

If you want the easy path, look somewhere else. If you want the real path, keep reading.

Where You Fit In:

Entry-Level ($18–$22/hr):
No experience? No problem. You’ll ride with experienced techs, learn how the systems work, and earn your place one dirty rooftop and one tight crawlspace at a time.

Level 1 ($22–$26/hr):
1–2 years in the field. You know your way around tools and trucks. You’re starting to diagnose simple issues and ready for tougher service calls. (EPA 608 Universal a plus.)

Level 2 ($27–$32/hr):
2–4 years in. You can diagnose most problems cleanly, handle tough conditions without blinking, and start running solo calls. (EPA 608 Universal a strong plus.)

Level 3 ($33–$38/hr):
4–6 years of hard-earned field experience. You own complex service calls, diagnose airflow and electrical issues under pressure, and start leading junior techs. (EPA 608 Universal required. IMC knowledge expected.)

Level 4 ($39–$45/hr):
7+ years of field leadership. You lead full projects, spot code violations, solve nasty problems, mentor crews — and carry the CKV standard on your back, every day. (EPA 608 Universal required. IMC expertise expected.)

What You’ll Do:

• Diagnose and repair kitchen hoods, ductwork, rooftop fans, and curb systems

• Troubleshoot airflow, mechanical, electrical, and capture problems

• Climb multi-story rooftops, squeeze into crawlspaces, work from lifts and boom trucks

• Communicate clearly with customers and office support — no confusion, no drama

• Maintain your tools, your paperwork, your truck, and your standards

What You’ll Bring:

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

• Mechanical aptitude, grit, and problem-solving instincts

• Willingness to work dirty, work hard, and work smart — every single day

• Relevant experience based on level — but attitude is mandatory

Pay & Benefits:

• $18–$45/hour depending on level, skill, and contribution

• Health Insurance + Retirement Plan

• Paid Holidays + PTO

• Real training, fast-track advancement — earn it, don’t wait for it

• Small, high-trust team where effort gets noticed

Physical Requirements & Work Environment:

Expect rooftops (including steep pitches), tight attics, wet basements, and lifts. Expect 50+ lbs lifting, heavy tool use, and extreme weather. Expect to be sore, dirty, tired — and proud of the work you did.

No Shortcuts, No Spectators

If you’re ready to be part of a real team, solve real problems, and build a career you’re proud of — apply now.

If you’re looking for easy days and light lifting — keep walking.

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We hire people who show up, solve problems, and take pride — everything else, we can train.
