field personnel.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability.
- Ability to read drawings, measurements, specifications, and
installation instructions.
- Professional communication and customer-service skills.
- A valid driver's license and ability to operate company vehicles.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Experience in any of the following may be a strong fit:
Fireplace & chimney work • Masonry • HVAC/mechanical • Roofing • Sheet
metal • Carpentry • Plumbing • Commercial construction • Specialty

Fireplace and chimney experience is highly valuable, but it is not the
only path into this position.
CERTIFICATIONS
OSHA 10/30, CSIA, NFI, F.I.R.E., manufacturer certifications, and
other relevant construction or mechanical credentials are valuable and
may affect starting compensation.
Certifications are preferred, but strong relevant field experience can
substitute.
