Discover a Career with Midwest Comfort
HVAC Residential Service Technician
How about a change of pace? Technicians currently working for large corporate HVAC companies are encouraged to apply. No sales quotas. Technicians are paid for their technical expertise, not pressured into selling equipment. We want the best SERVICE that Des Moines offers -- and that comes before pushy sales tactics and sales requirements.
Join a locally owned HVAC company serving the Des Moines Metro since 2007 where technicians are respected, supported, and paid well for their expertise. Applicants with Lennox, Amana, Carrier, Trane, or similar residential HVAC system experience are encouraged to apply.
*Minimum 2 years experience in residential HVAC required for all applicants.
