Lead Residential HVAC Installer – Experienced Install Lead Wanted

John Owens Services • Full-time • Petaluma, California, United States • $35 - $50 / hour • 1w ago

Are you the installer other people count on to get the job done right?

John Owens Services is looking for a true Residential Lead HVAC Installer — someone who can lead a job, teach an assistant, follow the plan, and finish installs on time without excuses.

This is not a position for someone who “kind of knows installs.” We need someone who can confidently install residential HVAC systems, communicate clearly, keep the job moving, and represent the company professionally in a customer’s home.

What You’ll Do

As our Lead Installer, you will:

Lead residential HVAC installation jobs from start to finish
Install systems correctly, cleanly, and according to company standards
Train and guide your install assistant throughout the day
Complete jobs on schedule without cutting corners
Follow company procedures, checklists, and safety standards
Communicate professionally with customers, dispatch, and management
Take pride in clean work, clean job sites, and doing things the right way

Who We’re Looking For

We want someone who is:

Confident leading an install crew
Experienced in residential HVAC installation (Mini Splits, Heat Pumps, Mitsubishi etc.)
Able to teach and hold an assistant accountable
Reliable, organized, and professional
Strong at problem-solving in the field
Willing to follow company systems and processes
Focused on quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction

What We’re Not Looking For

We are not looking for someone who overstates their experience, avoids responsibility, refuses to follow procedures, or needs constant supervision to complete a job. *If your resume says you can lead installs, we expect you to be able to prove it in the field.*

Why Join John Owens Services?

We are looking for long-term team members who take pride in their craft. You’ll have support, organized procedures, and the opportunity to be part of a company that values quality work, accountability, and professionalism.

If you are a skilled residential HVAC installer who can lead, teach, and deliver clean installs on time, we want to talk to you.

Apply today and tell us about the types of systems you have installed and your experience leading install jobs.
