HVAC Team Lead

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: As a Lead Installer at Jetson, you're the person the crew looks to — the one who sets the standard on the job site, brings newer techs along, and makes sure every install we hand off to a homeowner is something we're proud of. You've got deep residential install experience, you know heat pump systems inside and out (or you're fired up to make them your primary focus), and you're the kind of person who speaks up when something's off and finds a better way when one exists. You'll be one of the first installers in our new market, which means you'll have a real hand in shaping how we build and run the operation — not just executing someone else's playbook. If that sounds like the kind of role you've been looking for, we'd love to talk.
