Job description

We’re Hiring: Entry-Level Commercial HVAC Technician – Get Dirty, Get Better

Location: Norristown, PA (Field-Based Role) | Pay Range: $18–$22/hour | Full-Time

Company Overview:

At Commercial Kitchen Ventilation, we don’t babysit ventilation systems — we keep them alive under the worst conditions. From multi-story rooftops to tight basements, we make sure kitchens stay safe, compliant, and moving.

We’re a small, sharp team built on hustle, pride, and accountability. We don’t carry passengers. We don’t tolerate excuses. You either move the needle — or you’re in the way.

Position Summary:

We’re hiring an Entry-Level Commercial HVAC Technician. No experience? Good. You’ll learn from the ground up — riding with senior techs, getting dirty in the field, and earning your place by what you do, not what you say.

This isn’t classroom training. You’ll be diagnosing airflow issues, inspecting rooftop equipment in brutal heat and cold, and learning how to keep critical systems running in high-stress environments.

If you’re afraid of sweat, heights, or hard days — stop reading now.

What You’ll Do:

• Assist with inspections, diagnostics, and repairs on hoods, ductwork, fans, and rooftop systems

• Ride along on service calls, support lead techs, and stay a step ahead

• Work in crawlspaces, attics, rooftops (including steep pitches), and mechanical rooms

• Learn basic troubleshooting for airflow, electrical, and mechanical issues

• Handle tools, materials, and documentation like a pro-in-training

• Stay moving, stay coachable, stay hungry

What You’ll Bring:

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

• Zero fear of heights, weather, tight spaces, or getting dirty

• Solid work ethic, mechanical curiosity, and grit

• Respect for safety, customers, and the people you work with

Pay & Benefits:

• $18–$22/hour starting pay based on effort, not just experience

• Health Insurance + Retirement Plan

• Paid Holidays + PTO

• Fast-track training and real-world skills development

• A crew that pushes, expects, and backs each other up

Physical Requirements & Work Environment:

You’ll be climbing ladders onto multi-story rooftops, working in hot attics, freezing basements, on lifts and boom trucks, and lifting 50+ lbs regularly. You’ll get dirty, tired, and tested — every day.

Get In, Get Dirty, Get Better

This is real work, in real conditions, for real players. If you want to build hands-on skills that matter — apply now.

If you want clean clothes and easy days — there’s the door.

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We hire based on attitude, grit, and follow-through — period. If you’re built for this, we’ll find a spot for you.
