• Plan daily field activities and coordinate labor, materials, tools, and equipment.

• Direct, support, and mentor apprentices, helpers, and other installers.

• Teach proper installation techniques and reinforce quality standards.

• Identify jobsite issues and communicate them to project leadership.

• Coordinate professionally with builders, general contractors, project managers, other trades, and team members.

• Ensure installations meet project specifications, manufacturer requirements, applicable codes, and quality standards.

• Maintain clean, organized, and safe jobsites.

• Help minimize callbacks and rework through quality control and attention to detail.

• Complete required job documentation and communicate project progress.

• Take ownership of assigned projects from field startup through successful completion.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have a combination of strong technical skills, field leadership experience, accountability, and professionalism.

Required/Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous HVAC installation and/or new-construction experience.

• Ability to independently perform and lead residential HVAC installations.

• Strong knowledge of ductwork and HVAC installation practices.

• Ability to read plans, drawings, and specifications.

• Experience with refrigerant piping, brazing, evacuation, and system startup.

• Working knowledge of electrical and HVAC control wiring.

• Ability to troubleshoot installation and startup issues.

• Experience directing or mentoring apprentices, helpers, or installers.

• Strong communication and organizational skills.

• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.

• Commitment to safe work practices.

• Ability to work effectively with builders, contractors, customers, and coworkers.

• EPA 608 certification preferred.

• Applicable Iowa HVAC trade credentials are preferred.

Experienced candidates who are continuing to progress through licensing, technical training, and leadership development are also encouraged to apply.

What Success Looks Like

Successful Lead Installers are expected to:

• Arrive prepared, dependable, and ready to lead.

• Take ownership of assigned projects.

• Communicate potential issues before they become problems.

• Hold themselves and their crews accountable for quality.

• Maintain professional relationships with builders, contractors, coworkers, and other trades.

• Coach and develop less-experienced technicians.

• Protect customer property and maintain a professional jobsite.

• Follow through on commitments.

• Look for ways to improve efficiency, quality, and overall project execution.
