About the role
Buckle up—King Heating, Cooling & Plumbing isn't just another HVAC company; we're Chicagoland's fastest-growing legend since 1968! Family-owned, fiercely independent, and voted #1 in the area (with thousands of 5-star raves and a 100% satisfaction guarantee), we dominate Chicago, the suburbs, Northwest Indiana, and beyond with 24/7 hero-level service. We're talking epic installations that turn homes and businesses into comfort zones, partnerships like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (we've raised over $100K fighting childhood cancer!), and a team that's more like a high-performance crew than coworkers. If you love hands-on action, crushing goals, and being part of something bigger, this is your launchpad.
Job Summary Ready to level up your career? We're hunting for experienced HVAC Installers who thrive on the rush of transforming spaces—one high-efficiency system at a time. You'll lead full installs (residential to light commercial beasts up to 100 tons), own the job from blueprint to completed walkthrough, and leave every customer saying "Wow!" This isn't routine work—it's high-energy, high-reward action with overtime galore, and endless chances to shine in a company exploding with growth. Join us and build a career that's fun, financially rewarding, and seriously satisfying.
