Location: Norristown, PA (Field-Based Role) | Pay Range: $18–$45/hour | Full-Time
At Commercial Kitchen Ventilation, we specialize in the hard jobs. Service calls nobody wants. Rooftops nobody wants to climb. Problems nobody else can solve.
We’re a small, aggressive team where every technician counts — and every call is a chance to prove you belong. No passengers. No excuses. You’re either moving the needle or you’re not.
We’re hiring Commercial HVAC Technicians at all levels — from green helpers to seasoned pros who lead the work.
