Job Description

We’re Hiring: Lead Commercial HVAC Service Technician

 

Location: Norristown, PA | Pay Range: $40–$48/hour | Full-Time

 

Company Overview:

 

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation services commercial HVAC and kitchen ventilation systems in demanding environments throughout the tri-state area. We work on rooftop HVAC equipment, exhaust fans, make-up air systems, and airflow-related problems in active commercial environments.

 

We run lean, move fast, and expect senior technicians to set the standard in the field.

 

The people who succeed here solve problems, stay productive, and help the people around them improve. If you need someone else to step in every time things get difficult, this isn’t the right fit.

 

Position Summary:

 

We’re hiring a Senior Commercial HVAC Service Technician capable of leading demanding field work while supporting the technicians around them.

 

You’ll service commercial kitchen ventilation systems, rooftop HVAC equipment, exhaust fans, make-up air systems, ductwork, and related controls across the tri-state area.

 

At this level, technical ability alone isn’t enough. You’ll be expected to diagnose difficult problems, keep jobs moving when problems show up, and help less experienced technicians improve in the field.

 

The work is physical and tied directly to keeping kitchens and facilities operating.

 

What You’ll Get:

 

• $40–$48/hour based on experience, leadership, troubleshooting ability, and field performance

• Advancement opportunities tied to field leadership and operational performance

• Health Insurance + Retirement Plan

• Paid Holidays + PTO

• Trusted to handle difficult field work independently

• Direct involvement in difficult service work and problem-solving

 

What You’ll Do:

 

• Diagnose and repair commercial HVAC and kitchen ventilation systems

• Diagnose airflow, electrical, mechanical, and control-related problems in active commercial environments

• Service rooftop equipment, exhaust fans, make-up air systems, ductwork, and related controls

• Teach and support less experienced technicians in the field

• Maintain organized work habits and manage jobs responsibly from diagnosis through completion

 

What You’ll Bring:

 

• 6+ years of HVAC or related field experience

• Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic ability across commercial HVAC and ventilation systems

• Ability to lead field work while staying productive and accountable

• Capable of handling demanding field conditions without constant oversight

 

Physical Requirements & Work Environment:

 

Work is performed in active commercial kitchens, rooftops, and mechanical spaces where downtime matters. Expect ladder work, rooftops, crawlspaces, weather exposure, lifting 50+ lbs, emergency service calls, and on-call work.

 

Schedules and job locations can shift based on service demand and emergency calls.

 

This is not a normal 9–5 role.

 

If you’re ready to lead demanding field work and solve difficult problems — apply.

 

If you’re looking for predictable days or low-pressure work, this isn’t the right fit.

 

Commercial Kitchen Ventilation is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We hire based on performance, accountability, leadership, and capability.
