About Jetson

Jetson is on a mission to accelerate the transition of 100 million homes across North America away from fossil fuels toward sustainable energy use. We believe in a future that is 100% electric and 100% better. Homes are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, yet adoption of solutions like heat pumps remains slow due to cost and complexity. Jetson is solving this by building the first fully vertically integrated home electrification company — making clean energy simple, transparent, and affordable. We rely heavily on technology, automation, and data to scale this impact. At Jetson, we value people who are excellent at their craft, curious about new tools (including AI), and motivated to continuously improve how work gets done.

• Monitor and enforce company safety standards and ensure compliance with local codes and regulations.
• Identify operational obstacles and work proactively to resolve issues that impact field productivity or installation timelines.
• Conduct pre‑installation walkthroughs to ensure all project parameters.
• Maintain an up‑to‑date understanding of the staffing needs based relevant business inputs.
• Train and mentor field technicians to improve workmanship, efficiency, and customer service.
• Review completed installations to ensure quality standards and customer expectations are met or exceeded.
• Support warranty and rework investigations and help implement corrective action plans.
• Provide performance feedback and assist with evaluations of field team members.
• Collaborate with senior leadership to develop and refine operational procedures and best practices.

What You Bring

• Proven experience as an HVAC install team member and team lead.
