HVAC Team Lead Installer

Job Description Job Description 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.
The Opportunity
As a Lead Installer at Jetson, youre 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 were proud of. Youve got deep residential install experience, you know heat pump systems inside and out (or youre fired up to make them your primary focus), and youre the kind of person who speaks up when somethings off and finds a better way when one exists.
Youll be one of the first installers in our new market, which means youll have a real hand in shaping how we build and run the operation — not just executing someone elses playbook. If that sounds like the kind of role youve been looking for, wed love to talk.
What Youll Do
Complete full heat pump system installs from start to finish, including removing existing gas furnaces and AC 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 working solo or alongside your team — and speak up when something isnt 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 dont go as planned
Experience with heat pumps or mini-splits is a strong plus — well invest in growing that expertise if youre eager to make it your focus
Physical stamina to handle heavy equipment and work across varied conditions
