About this role
This role is a field leadership position overseeing commercial HVAC installation execution for a single project in Aspen, Colorado. You would be the primary on-site superintendent responsible for leading installers, enforcing safety and quality standards, managing day-to-day execution risks, and serving as the main contact between the jobsite and Kelso's Central Services Center (project management, estimating, accounting, and dispatch). The work involves direct supervision, milestone inspections, punch list management, and stop-work authority when safety issues arise.
You'll need at least five years of hands-on commercial HVAC experience with demonstrated crew leadership capability. VRF systems proficiency is required, along with the ability to read mechanical drawings, troubleshoot installation challenges, and work physically on-site (climbing, lifting, confined spaces). OSHA 10 certification is mandatory; EPA Universal certification is preferred. The role demands strong communication across both field and corporate teams, solid judgment around execution and safety risk, and familiarity with documentation and quality discipline.
This position offers $35–$45 per hour based on experience, medical/dental/vision coverage, PTO, paid holidays, and training opportunities. It suits someone with field superintendent or senior crew leader experience who is ready to take on full project oversight responsibility and wants to work directly with both installers and management on a defined commercial project.
