Experienced Fireplace & Chimney Technician / Field Manager

Flue Tech Inc. — Norwood, NJ

Full-Time | $25–$35/hour DOE

Flue Tech Inc. is looking for an experienced construction or specialty-trades professional to join our field team.

This is a hands‑on field leadership position for someone who can perform high‑quality work, run jobs, supervise technicians and helpers, solve problems in the field, and represent Flue Tech professionally with clients and contractors.

Direct fireplace and chimney experience is preferred, but we will also consider strong candidates from related skilled trades who have the construction experience, mechanical aptitude, and leadership ability to learn our systems.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead and perform fireplace, chimney, venting, liner, restoration, repair, and specialty installation projects.
• Manage technicians and helpers, materials, tools, and daily job‑site execution.
• Review drawings, measurements, specifications, manufacturer instructions, and project documentation.
• Identify field conditions affecting scope, materials, scheduling, safety, or completion.
• Coordinate professionally with clients, contractors, architects, designers, project managers, and our office team.
• Maintain clean, organized job sites and premium workmanship standards.
• Document completed work with photos, field notes, material requirements, and completion information.
• Train and supervise developing technicians and apprentices.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Multiple years of hands‑on construction or skilled‑trade experience.
• Experience independently running jobs, leading crews, or supervising field personnel.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and problem‑solving ability.
• Ability to read drawings, measurements, specifications, and installation instructions.
• Professional communication and customer‑service skills.
• A valid driver's license and ability to operate company vehicles.
• Ability to safely perform physical construction work, including ladder and roof work when required.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Experience in any of the following may be a strong fit:

• Fireplace & chimney work
• Masonry
• HVAC/mechanical
• Roofing
• Sheet metal
• Carpentry
• Plumbing
• Commercial construction
• Specialty installation
• Construction foreman/crew leadership

Fireplace and chimney experience is highly valuable, but it is not the only path into this position.

CERTIFICATIONS

OSHA 10/30, CSIA, NFI, F.I.R.E., manufacturer certifications, and other relevant construction or mechanical credentials are valuable and may affect starting compensation.

Certifications are preferred, but strong relevant field experience can substitute.

COMPENSATION

$25–$35 per hour, depending on experience.

Starting pay will be based on relevant trade experience, technical ability, certifications, leadership experience, and the level of responsibility the candidate can assume.

Candidates who can independently manage complex field projects, supervise crews, and professionally represent Flue Tech with clients and contractors will be considered toward the upper end of the range.
