We are looking for a Duct Installer to join our team and support the fabrication, installation, repair, and maintenance of duct systems used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning projects. This role is essential to ensuring that air distribution systems are installed accurately, efficiently, and in compliance with project specifications, safety regulations, and quality standards. The ideal candidate has practical experience working with sheet metal ductwork, insulation materials, hangers, supports, and related HVAC components in residential, commercial, or industrial environments.
As a Duct Installer, you will read blueprints, layout drawings, and mechanical plans to determine the correct placement and routing of duct systems. You will measure, cut, assemble, and fit duct sections, elbows, dampers, and connectors while ensuring proper alignment and secure fastening. The position requires attention to detail, physical stamina, and the ability to work at heights, in confined spaces, and on active construction sites. You will also coordinate with HVAC technicians, project managers, general contractors, and other trades to complete installations on schedule.
A successful candidate understands airflow principles, installation tolerances, and the importance of sealing and insulating ductwork to maximize system performance and energy efficiency. You should be comfortable using hand tools, power tools, lifts, and measuring equipment, and you must follow all workplace safety procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment. Experience with duct fabrication, field modifications, and troubleshooting installation issues is highly valued.
In this role, you may assist with demolition of old duct systems, transport materials to job sites, verify dimensions before installation, and inspect completed work for leaks, stability, and code compliance. You will be expected to maintain a clean work area, document progress when required, and communicate any site challenges or material shortages promptly. Reliability, teamwork, and a strong work ethic are important, as this position contributes directly to the comfort, safety, and operational efficiency of buildings.
This opportunity is well suited for someone who enjoys hands-on construction work, takes pride in precise installation, and wants to build a long-term career in HVAC and mechanical systems. If you are dependable, safety-conscious, and committed to delivering high-quality workmanship, we encourage you to apply.
