Job description

We’re Hiring: Level 3 Commercial HVAC Technician – Set the Pace, Raise the Standard

Location: Norristown, PA (Field-Based Role) | Pay Range: $33–$38/hour | Full-Time

Company Overview:

At Commercial Kitchen Ventilation, we built our reputation by handling the jobs other companies run from. Dirty kitchens, broken exhausts, busted fans, rooftop disasters — we fix what matters, when it matters, without excuses.

We’re not looking for warm bodies. We’re looking for field generals who know how to solve, lead, and move.

Position Summary:

We’re hiring a Level 3 Commercial HVAC Technician — someone who doesn’t just fix problems, but leads the solution. You’ll handle high-priority ventilation service calls, train junior techs in the field, and spot code and safety issues before they blow up.

At this level, you’re expected to move with speed, precision, and confidence — because the customers, the crew, and the jobsite will all be looking to you.

What You’ll Do:

• Run complex ventilation service calls with minimal oversight
• Diagnose and fix airflow, mechanical, electrical, and capture issues
• Identify code deficiencies (IMC familiarity expected) and report accurately
• Communicate directly and clearly with customers and office support
• Train and mentor Level 1 and Level 2 techs — by example, not lectures
• Own your truck, your paperwork, and your performance — every call

What You’ll Bring:

• 4–6 years of commercial HVAC or ventilation service experience
• Expert troubleshooting across hoods, duct, fans, curb systems, and controls
• Familiarity with applicable IMC sections around ventilation system compliance
• Clean driver’s license and the ability to move across multiple jobsites daily
• EPA 608 Universal Certification required at this level
• High field IQ, real leadership instincts, and pride in professional workmanship

Pay & Benefits:

• $33–$38/hour based on field leadership, technical skill, and output
• $10k Sign-on bonus
• Health Insurance + Retirement Plan
• Paid Holidays + PTO
• Advancement to Level 4 and project leadership for the top performers
• A team that moves fast, holds the standard, and pushes for better

Physical Requirements & Work Environment:

You’ll be lifting 50+ lbs daily, climbing ladders onto multi-story rooftops (sometimes steep pitched), crawling into hot attics and freezing mechanical rooms, working from lifts and boom trucks, and grinding through all weather.

Lead the Work — or Get Out of the Way

This is a leadership-level role in the field. If you’re ready to solve under pressure, coach others up, and own the outcome.

If you’re looking for excuses, a clipboard, or a crutch — you won’t last here.

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We promote based on performance, leadership, and grit — not tenure.
