Position Summary:
Seeking a driven and motivated engineer to join our engineering team focusing on application engineering for our diverse line of HVAC equipment. Application Engineers should be comfortable working in a result-driven, fast-paced environment.
As an Application Engineer at CaptiveAire, you will play a key role in shaping, advancing, and supporting innovative HVAC solutions for a wide range of real world applications.
Why Work for CaptiveAire?
  • Nation's leading manufacturer of commercial kitchen ventilation systems, and now offering a complete solution of fans, heaters, ductwork and HVAC equipment. Our primary purpose is to provide fully integrated, sustainable HVAC Systems.
  • Leader in the industry for over 40 years with innovative technologies, unmatched service, competitive pricing, and rapid lead times.

  • Strong commitment to the development of our employees, including continuous education opportunities like sponsorship for Professional Engineering license and continuous education through weekly webinars and company developed technical videos

What our employees have to say:
I love the mindset of continuous learning and pushing the bounds of your capabilities and knowledge. I love the people I work with and the environment, particularly in a world where remote work is common. I love how CaptiveAire is all about connections, with customers, coworkers, end users, and everyone in between.
Knowing that the company truly has an owner and leadership team that cares for the employees. At CaptiveAire each employee is more than a number, they are a valued member of a growing and diverse team. The open-door policy at CaptiveAire means that no matter who you are in the company that leadership is open to hear your comments and concerns. This means that your ideas are heard. Not once in my time here at CaptiveAire have I felt like I was anything less than an asset to this company and a valued member of the team.
We want to stay on the cutting edge and so are constantly sourcing and utilizing the best equipment available. Any position can provide feedback that is listened to and incorporated into processes. Collaboration is key at CaptiveAire and so there is no being "Silo-ed" into one area.
CaptiveAire is fast-moving and no-nonsense. We operate differently than any other company that I've worked for with our decentralized structure. Quick action is taken when a good idea is presented. We are focused on end users where the rest of the industry is very short-sighted. We are on the front lines, actively changing the landscape of the HVAC industry.

That gives the opportunity find better ways to approach a problem, dive deep into standards and best practices, and learn something new from the involved parties. Its always a great feeling when something I've helped with turns out well for the sales office and end user.

  • Must be a self-starter, able to handle long term tasks with little guidance.
  • THIS IS NOT A REMOTE ROLE.
