We specialize in commercial hollow metal doors, frames, architectural hardware, electrified openings, access control integrations, and security solutions for schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, airports, and commercial properties.

We're not the biggest company in South Florida.

We're entering an exciting stage of growth and actively expanding our team as we pursue larger projects and continue building one of South Florida's premier commercial door and hardware contractors.

We're a family-oriented company where every person's contribution matters. The people who join Everglades today will help shape the future of this company tomorrow.

If you're looking for just another job, this probably isn't the place for you.

If you're looking for an opportunity to build a career, develop your skills, grow into leadership, and be part of a company that's on the rise, we'd love to hear from you.

We are currently hiring:

Lead Commercial Door & Hardware Technician

$38-$45+/Hour DOE

________________________________________________

Lead Commercial Door & Hardware Technician

We're looking for a true commercial door professional, not simply someone who can install doors.

This individual should have advanced knowledge of commercial openings, architectural hardware, electrified hardware, access control preparations, troubleshooting, field leadership, and project execution.

The ideal candidate can step onto a jobsite, read the plans, identify issues before they become problems, organize the work, communicate with Project Managers and General Contractors, and successfully lead a crew from start to finish.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of commercial door and hardware experience preferred
  • Extensive experience with:
  • Hollow metal doors
  • Hollow metal frames

  • Strong understanding of door handing and hardware applications
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Ability to train and mentor technicians

  • Lead by example
  • Train and develop less experienced technicians
  • Communicate professionally under pressure
  • Take ownership of project outcomes

The Lead Technician will be held to the highest standards within the company.

At Everglades, leadership means ownership.

Success is measured not only by the work performed by the Lead Technician, but by the performance of the entire crew. We expect our leaders to build people up, develop talent, create accountability, and maintain a strong team culture that helps the team improve through accountability, respect, coaching, and leading by example, never through fear or intimidation.

"Strong leaders don't create followers. Strong leaders create more leaders."

We believe leadership is not about authority. Leadership is about responsibility.

Responsibilities

  • Lead projects from kickoff through completion
  • Coordinate field activities with Project Managers and General Contractors
  • Review plans, schedules, specifications, and project requirements
  • Delegate work appropriately and efficiently
  • Train and mentor technicians
  • Troubleshoot field conditions and develop solutions
  • Ensure projects are completed safely, professionally, and on schedule
  • Maintain accurate documentation and punch-list completion
  • Ensure installations meet company, manufacturer, and project standards

  • Overtime opportunities
  • Company vehicle available for qualified employees
  • Fuel card
  • Health insurance
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid time off
  • Stable year-round work
  • Career growth opportunities
  • Leadership opportunities within a growing company

Employment Requirements

  • Must pass a pre-employment drug screening and background check.
  • Must be able to effectively communicate with customers, coworkers, project management, inspectors, and general contractors.
  • Must be able to understand and communicate jobsite instructions, plans, schedules, specifications, and safety requirements.
  • If English is not your primary language, you must be willing and able to utilize available technology, including real-time translation tools, to ensure clear and effective communication at all times.
  • Must be able to safely perform the physical demands of the position.
  • Must be dependable, willing to learn, take direction, and maintain a professional attitude.
  • Must be able to work effectively independently and as part of a team.

We value honest communication, trust, camaraderie, accountability, and a willingness to support one another.

We are a professional co-ed workplace. Our team includes both men and women in leadership, operations, project management, administration, and support roles. Professionalism, mutual respect, and the ability to work effectively with all team members are essential expectations of every employee.
