We are one of the fastest-growing home-service companies on the West Coast, but we’re equally focused on building a company where talented people enjoy coming to work. Our culture is competitive, team-oriented, and built around developing people—not simply managing numbers.
Our team receives memberships to LifeTime Fitness, participates in catered monthly company meetings often with team games and competitions, and works in an environment where accomplishments are recognized and celebrated. We take performance seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

Maintaining our fix-it-first mentality while identifying legitimate replacement opportunities
Partnering with dispatch, sales, installation, and customer service to create a seamless customer experience
Recruiting, onboarding, and retaining high-performing technicians
Resolving escalated customer concerns professionally
Maintaining safety, documentation, licensing, and quality-control standards

Competitive base salary with performance-based earning potential
Medical, dental, and vision benefits
Paid time off
Company vehicle and phone
Life Time Fitness membership
Catered monthly company meetings with team games and competitions
Ongoing leadership and technical development
Recognition for individual and team accomplishments
The opportunity to lead within one of the fastest-growing home-service companies on the West Coast
A company that invests heavily in its people, culture, and long-term growth
