Sheet metal layout is the process of planning and marking the dimensions and patterns on flat sheet metal before cutting, bending, or assembling it into a finished product. This task is crucial in industries like HVAC, construction, and manufacturing, as it ensures parts fit correctly and efficiently.

Sheet Metal Installer
Position Overview
As a Sheet Metal Installer (Levels I-III), you'll play a key role in fabricating, assembling, installing, and repairing sheet metal ductwork and HVAC components for commercial projects, progressing from entry-level assistance to master-level expertise in dry-side systems. Work on diverse, hands-on installations-from basic layout and support tasks to complex startups, crew leadership, and project planning-collaborating with teams, foremen, and other trades to deliver precise, code-compliant systems that power safer, more efficient, and sustainable facilities nationwide. Our people-first culture invests in your growth at every level with structured training, mentorship, apprenticeships, certifications, and clear advancement paths, ensuring you build a rewarding career while contributing to reliable indoor environments for communities to thrive.
Duties and Responsibilities Duties vary by level, with increasing independence, complexity, leadership, and responsibility:

  • Level II (Mid-Level): Independently handle standard fabrication, installation, and repairs of sheet metal ductwork, fittings, and accessories per blueprints and SMACNA standards; perform quality checks, minor troubleshooting, duct sealing/hanging, and documentation; mentor Level I installers and coordinate with trades as needed.
  • Level III (Senior-Level): Lead advanced installations, modifications, and repairs of complex sheet metal systems; conduct equipment startups, functional testing, system balancing, and final checkouts; troubleshoot complex issues with minimal supervision; provide coaching/mentoring to Levels I-II and act as lead on sections of projects.

All levels: Enforce and uphold strict safety protocols (daily hazard assessments, toolbox talks, PPE usage); document work, progress, and incidents accurately; actively pursue personal/professional growth in sheet metal and dry-side HVAC practices.
Supervisory Responsibilities Varies by level:
  • Level I & II: None (individual contributor; may offer informal guidance to lower levels).

    • Level I: 0-3 years in construction/labor or related field; no prior HVAC/sheet metal experience required-strong mechanical aptitude and eagerness to learn essential.
    • Level II: 3-5 years in commercial sheet metal/HVAC installation/fabrication; demonstrated in-depth knowledge of dry-side applications.
    • Level III: 5+ years with mastery-level knowledge; proven ability to handle complex tasks independently.
  • Education: High school diploma or GED required; trade school, apprenticeship, or relevant certifications preferred (e.g., SMACNA-related, journeyman license for higher levels).
  • Physical Demands: Ability to regularly lift/carry up to 50 lbs, climb ladders/scaffolding/stairs, work in confined spaces or at heights, bend/kneel/crouch, reach overhead, and use hand/power tools for extended periods; frequent standing, walking, manual dexterity, and physical stamina required.
  • Work Environment/Safety: Primarily field-based in commercial/industrial settings (indoor/outdoor, varying weather, active sites); exposure to noise, dust, heights, sharp materials, mechanical hazards; must adhere to OSHA regulations, conduct hazard identification, and wear required PPE (hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, harnesses, steel-toed boots) at all times-safety is our top priority and non-negotiable. This is a safety-sensitive position. Occasional regional travel within assigned market or on-call rotations may be required.

Required Skills (Progressive by level)
