Lead Garage Door Technician - Installation & Service

$75,000-$85,000 + Performance Bonus | Company Vehicle | Full Benefits

Are you an experienced Garage Door Technician or Installer who is ready for more responsibility, better earning potential, and the opportunity to lead?

We are hiring a Lead Garage Door Technician to join our growing residential team. We're looking for someone who knows garage doors inside and out, takes pride in quality workmanship, and can be the person other installers turn to when a job gets complicated.

This is a hands-on field position, not a desk job. You'll install, troubleshoot, lead complex projects, help train other installers, and play an important role in improving the overall performance of the installation team.

If you're already the person coworkers call when they can't figure something out, we want to talk with you.

Why You'll Want to Join Our Team

• Job Type: Full-Time
• Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-4:30 PM
• Compensation: $75,000-$85,000 + Performance Bonus
• Benefits: Health, Dental, Vision, 401(k), Company Vehicle, Gas Card & Tool Allowance

What You'll Do

As our Lead Garage Door Technician, you'll be one of the go-to people in the field for installations, troubleshooting, quality, and technician development.

You’ll:

• Install residential garage doors, openers, operators, and related equipment
• Lead complex and specialty garage door installations
• Troubleshoot difficult installation and operational issues
• Train, mentor, and support installers in the field
• Help newer technicians improve their skills, efficiency, and confidence
• Inspect completed installations for quality and accuracy
• Identify the cause of warranty issues and callbacks
• Help reduce installation errors, rework, and repeat service calls
• Work with customers and internal team members on larger projects
• Make sure proper installation and safety procedures are followed
• Help ensure crews have the equipment and materials needed for upcoming jobs
• Recommend ways to improve installation processes, quality, and efficiency

The Lead Installer position is specifically responsible for supervising and training the installation team, maintaining field quality, reducing warranty callbacks, and taking the lead on major and complex projects.

What We’re Looking For

This is a lead-level position, so we're looking for someone with strong hands-on garage door installation and repair experience.

You should have experience with:

• Residential garage door installation
• Garage door openers and operators
• Measuring for proper door installation
• Standard and low-headroom applications
• Headroom and sideroom requirements
• Torsion systems
• Spring line requirements
• Jackshaft applications
• Operator and wiring requirements
• Diagnosing garage door installation problems
• Correcting installation issues and callbacks

The original role requires extensive knowledge of garage door and operator installation and repair, including detailed understanding of installation measurements and different operating configurations.

You’re Probably a Great Fit If...

You're the installer who wants the job done right, not just done fast.

You're comfortable making decisions in the field. You can look at an installation problem, figure out what's happening, and come up with a solution.

You also don't mind sharing what you know. You can coach another installer without talking down to them and understand that building a stronger team ultimately makes everyone's job easier.

We're looking for someone who brings:

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Attention to detail
• Leadership and mentoring ability
• Dependability and accountability
• Strong customer communication
• Organization and time-management skills
• Ability to work independently
• Professionalism in customers' homes
• A strong commitment to safety and quality

Physical Requirements

This is an active, hands-on trade position. You'll regularly be climbing, lifting, balancing, walking, stooping, and handling garage door materials and equipment.

You must be able to lift and carry up to 80 pounds for up to 50 feet. Door Dorks Job Description
