The Role
We are seeking a skilled and personable Gas Fireplace Technician/Sales Specialist to service, install, and sell

What We're Looking For
- One to three years of experience in gas fireplace service, HVAC, plumbing, or a related trade
- A natural communicator who can explain technical issues to homeowners clearly and confidently
- Comfortable selling gas fireplace units and systems directly to customers in the field
- Exceptional customer service instincts: reliable, personable, and detail-oriented
- Valid driver's license required

- WSSC, State of Maryland, Virginia, or DC gas license
- MHIC (Maryland Home Improvement Commission) license

With over 50 years of regional dominance and one of the largest customer bases in the DMV, you won't be

package including base pay, commission, health insurance, and a company-sponsored retirement plan. We
believe in investing in our people for the long term — from sponsored apprenticeships and professional
