You will work alongside experienced technicians while learning chimney inspections, sweeping, repairs, liners, venting, light masonry, and hearth-related work.

This is not a desk job. The work can involve ladders, roofs, tools, physical labor, changing weather, customer homes, photos, job notes, and following company safety procedures.

What You’ll Do:

• Assist with chimney inspections and sweeping
• Help with chimney repairs, liners, caps, chase covers, and venting systems

• Learn chimney, hearth, masonry, and venting systems over time

• Comfortable with physical work and working outdoors year-round
• Comfortable working on ladders, scaffolding, and rooftops
• Safety-conscious and willing to follow procedures
• Honest when you do not know something
• Willing to learn, take feedback, and improve
• Respectful in customers’ homes and on job sites
• Detail-oriented and willing to document work properly
• Interested in long-term growth in a skilled trade
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record

Helpful Experience, But Not Required:

• Construction, masonry, roofing, HVAC, maintenance, landscaping, warehouse, delivery, military, or other hands-on work
• Basic hand tool or power tool experience
• Customer service experience
• OSHA or other safety training

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to perform hands-on field work
• Ability to lift and carry tools, materials, ladders, and equipment
• Ability to work outdoors in changing weather
• Ability to work on ladders, scaffolding, rooftops, and around customer homes
• Ability to follow safety procedures and company standards

What We Offer:

• Paid training
• In-house training and support toward external certifications
• 401(k) with company match
• Health insurance reimbursement
• Paid holidays and PTO
• Company tools, uniforms, and safety gear provided
• Stable, full-time, year-round work
• Opportunity to grow in a respected, in-demand trade

Our Core Values:

At Done Right Chimney, how we work matters. We value:

• Safety First

• Craftsmanship
• Dependability
• People Over Profits
• Continuous Improvement

We often say, “We know better, so we do better.”

That means we are looking for someone who wants to learn the right way, take pride in their work, and be part of a team that cares about doing the job safely and correctly.

Done Right Chimney is a proud member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG) and supports team members in pursuing professional development and certification.
