Journeyman HVAC Installer

About Jetson

Jetson is on a mission to accelerate the transition of 100 million homes across North America away from fossil fuels toward sustainable energy use. We believe in a future that is 100% electric and 100% better.

Homes are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, yet adoption of solutions like heat pumps remains slow due to cost and complexity. Jetson is solving this by building the first fully vertically integrated home electrification company — making clean energy simple, transparent, and affordable.

We rely heavily on technology, automation, and data to scale this impact. At Jetson, we value people who are excellent at their craft, curious about new tools (including AI), and motivated to continuously improve how work gets done.

The Opportunity:

We're looking for experienced HVAC Installers who take real pride in their craft: technicians who can walk into any home, pull out aging gas equipment, and leave behind a flawlessly installed heat pump system and a homeowner who's genuinely excited about what they just got. This isn't a run-of-the-mill installation gig — you'll be working on the front lines of the clean energy transition, shaping how we improve our process, and representing Jetson in the moments that matter most to our customers. If you're the kind of installer who notices what others miss, communicates clearly, and holds your work to a high standard whether someone's watching or not, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do:

Complete full heat pump system installs from start to finish — including removing existing gas furnaces and air conditioning equipment and leaving the space clean and ready

Execute refrigerant recovery, system evacuation, and proper charging with care and precision

Prep spaces thoughtfully after equipment removal so the new install starts on the right foot

Read blueprints and wiring diagrams to execute installs accurately and troubleshoot confidently

Stay current on local building codes and make sure every job is compliant before you wrap

Deliver a standout customer experience — answer questions clearly, address concerns on the spot, and leave homeowners feeling great about their decision

Catch quality issues early — yours or anyone else's — and speak up when something needs to be corrected

Maintain organized, well-stocked vehicles and warehouse as part of your daily routine

Collaborate with fellow installers and our engineering team to flag better ways of doing things and help us continuously raise the bar.

What You Bring:

Solid hands-on residential HVAC install experience, including working in attics, crawlspaces, and tight or physically demanding environments

Active Maryland HVACR Journeyman License issued by the Maryland Board of Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) Contractors (required)

Ability to work independently as well as working alongside a crew

EPA Section 608 Certification (required or actively in progress)

Ability to read blueprints and wiring schematics

Working knowledge of local building codes and how to stay compliant

Strong refrigerant handling skills — recovery, evacuation, and charging done right

A sharp eye for quality and a low tolerance for cutting corners

Clear, professional communication with both customers and teammates

A problem-solving mindset when installs don't go exactly as planned

Physical stamina to handle heavy equipment and work across varied conditions

Experience with heat pumps or mini-splits is a strong plus — we'll invest in growing that expertise if you're eager to learn
