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.

• Install new heat pump systems alongside experienced Installers
• Perform routine maintenance tasks such as cleaning and replacing filters
• Test HVAC systems to ensure proper functionality
• Follow blueprints, schematics, and building codes when installing or repairing systems
• Collaborate with other technicians and engineering teams on the product and processes
• Provide excellent customer service by addressing client concerns and questions

What You Bring:

• Completion of (6 - 12 months) of a recognized HVAC program or combination of program work and 1 - 2 years of related equivalent work experience
• EPA Type II or Universal Certification (required)
• Valid (unrestricted) Drivers License
