About this role
HELP is seeking an experienced Lead HVAC Technician to run residential installation projects for their growing Cincinnati-area operation. You'd be responsible for installing heating and cooling systems in customers' homes, leading apprentices through projects, and ensuring work meets manufacturer specs and company standards. The role demands minimal supervision, strong technical knowledge of ductwork and unit installation, and the ability to manage both the technical and people sides of each job—from coordinating crew work to explaining new systems to homeowners.
This position suits someone with at least two years of lead-level residential HVAC installation experience who holds EPA 2 certification (Universal preferred, NATE a bonus). You'll work across job sites in the field, climbing ladders, handling materials up to 50 pounds, and operating hand and power tools in varying weather conditions. The company emphasizes quality over speed and provides newer equipment, organized support, and consistent year-round work—rare stability in the trade.
Compensation ranges from $80,000 to $120,000 annually through hourly pay plus performance spiffs. Benefits include health, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with company match, and paid vacation. HELP has operated for over 80 years in the region and prioritizes doing work right the first time, which translates to job security and room to grow within an established, team-focused company.
