Descripción del empleo

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.

The Opportunity:

As a Lead Installer at Jetson, you're the person the crew looks to — the one who sets the standard on the job site, brings newer techs along, and makes sure every install we hand off to a homeowner is something we're proud of. You've got deep residential install experience, you know heat pump systems inside and out (or you're fired up to make them your primary focus), and you're the kind of person who speaks up when something's off and finds a better way when one exists. You'll be one of the first installers in our new market, which means you'll have a real hand in shaping how we build and run the operation — not just executing someone else's playbook. If that sounds like the kind of role you've been looking for, we'd love to talk.

What You Will Do:

• Complete full heat pump system installs from start to finish, including removing existing gas furnaces and air conditioning equipment and leaving every space clean and ready
• Execute refrigerant recovery, system evacuation, and proper charging with care and precision
• Read and work from blueprints and wiring diagrams to install accurately and troubleshoot confidently
• Stay current on local building codes and make sure every job is compliant before wrap-up
• Guide and support less experienced installers on the crew — dividing responsibilities clearly, catching issues early, and bringing people up to speed on Jetson equipment and procedures
• Hold the quality bar high whether you're working solo or alongside your team — and speak up when something isn't right, regardless of who installed it
• Deliver a standout customer experience — communicate clearly with homeowners throughout the job, answer their questions, and leave them feeling confident in what they just had installed
• Collaborate with fellow installers and our engineering team to surface better ways of doing things and help us continuously improve our process
• Help build out the new market operation from the ground up — your input matters here

What You Bring:

• Extensive hands-on residential HVAC install experience, including working in attics, crawlspaces, and physically demanding environments
• Proven experience leading an install crew — you know how to divide work, keep a job on track, and hold the team accountable
• Experience training or mentoring junior technicians on the job site
• EPA Section 608 Certification (required)
• Ability to read blueprints and wiring schematics
• Strong working knowledge of local building codes and compliance requirements
• Solid refrigerant handling skills — recovery, evacuation, and charging done right
• A sharp eye for quality and a low tolerance for cutting corners
• Clear, professional communication with both homeowners and teammates
• A problem-solving mindset when installs don't go as planned
• Experience with heat pumps or mini-splits is a strong plus — we'll invest in growing that expertise if you're eager to make it your focus
• Physical stamina to handle heavy equipment and work across varied conditions
