We’re a growing, team-driven company that invests in developing people into skilled, licensed tradespeople.
The Role
As an HVAC Apprentice, you’ll learn the trade hands-on alongside experienced technicians and foremen. You’ll help install, maintain, and repair heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems while building the skills and hours needed to advance toward licensure. This is a career path, not just a job.
What You’ll Do
- Assist technicians with installing, servicing, and troubleshooting HVAC and refrigeration equipment, including rooftop units, split systems, boilers, chillers, and controls
- Help with preventive maintenance: filter changes, belt replacement, cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting equipment
- Run and connect piping, ductwork, and electrical components under supervision
- Load, unload, and organize tools, materials, and vans; keep job sites clean and safe
- Read basic blueprints, schematics, and work orders as your skills develop
- Follow all OSHA and Fraser safety procedures, and wear required PPE
- Communicate professionally with customers, coworkers, and supervisors
What We’re Looking For
- High school diploma or GED
- OSHA 10
- Strong mechanical aptitude and a genuine interest in building a career in HVAC
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- Ability to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, work at heights, and work in tight spaces, outdoors, and in varying weather
- Reliable, punctual, and willing to learn and take direction
Preferred (Not Required)
- Completion of, or enrollment in, an HVAC/R vocational or technical program
- EPA 608 Certification
- Some experience in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or a related trade
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly pay with structured raises as you progress
- Hands-on training and a clear path toward Massachusetts licensure
- Medical, dental, and FSA beginning after 30 days
- 401(k) with company profit sharing, plus additional benefits after 90 days
- Paid holidays and paid time off
- Company-provided tools/PPE [confirm]
- A supportive team that wants to see you grow
