Geothermal HVAC Install Helper
About The Position
Dandelion Energy is transforming how homes are heated and cooled—starting from (below) the ground up. As the nation’s leading residential geothermal company, we design, install, and maintain all-in-one heating and cooling systems that are cleaner, quieter, and up to 4x more efficient than traditional HVAC, with a focus on large, scaled deployments to large homebuilders. We’re an ambitious (and growing) team on a mission to revolutionize home heating. Backed by Google Ventures (GV) and other top tech investors, our end-to-end geothermal solution is breaking the status quo of residential heating and cooling technology, and we’re scaling rapidly to meet demand. Whether we’re serving national homebuilders or individual homeowners, our mission is the same: to make geothermal the default choice for heating and cooling in the U.S. We’re looking for a motivated, hands-on, entry-level HVAC Helper to join our installation team. This role is perfect for someone excited to get their start in the renewable energy and HVAC space. You’ll support experienced installers in installing geothermal heat pumps, learn on the job, and help maintain the highest standards of safety, quality, and efficiency. This role reports to the Regional Operations Manager.
