Job description

This is hands-on mechanical work, hot garages and all, not a sales job with some lifting. You’ll diagnose the problems, talk to the homeowner like a pro they trust, then fix it yourself.

We want someone who puts people first: down-to-earth, dependable, easy to talk to, plus a strong work ethic and the grit to do physical work daily. We’ll teach you to sell.

The Job

Physical work, every day: springs, cables, rollers, openers, motors. You repair and install it all. Lifting 75+ lbs., bending, kneeling, climbing ladders, working in 100°F garages and freezing ones. Hands-on from first job to last.

Selling isn’t optional, it’s the job: no sale means no repair, no repair means no paycheck. This is commission-based, so every dollar you make starts with a homeowner trusting you enough to say yes. We’ll teach you how to earn that yes. You bring the desire to close.

What You Get

• Uncapped earnings, first-year techs typically hit $60K–$90K+
• Company vehicle + gas card all tools provided
• Medical, dental, vision, 401k PTO + weekly pay
• 6-week paid training (2 weeks local, 4 weeks Phoenix Academy, travel covered) + a one thousand dollar graduation bonus
• Real career path

Who Thrives Here

• Likes working with hands, solving mechanical problems, no garage door experience needed
• Puts people first: trustworthy, helpful, easy to talk to, no sales title required
• Shows up prepared and does the work right, every time, raising the standard, not cutting corners
• Follows through on what they commit to and earns trust through the finish line
• Doesn’t mind getting dirty, sweaty, or cold
• Wants to build toward six figures over time, not a quick bump

Requirements

• 21+, valid license, 3+ years driving record
• Can lift 75 lbs., bend, climb, kneel, work in extreme temps, regularly
• Some hands‑on mechanical experience or comfort with tools (home services, auto shops, hospitality, DIY projects, etc.)
• Willingness to undergo a criminal background check, drug test (THC excluded) and driving record
• Basic tech comfort (apps, tablets); reading/math for measurements and payments
• No sales experience required, we teach that

At A1, we put people first, raise the standard, and deliver on our promise, from the first call to every handshake. That starts with who we hire.
