Dryer Vent Wizard is hiring an experienced residential service technician for route-based field work in the South Bay area, including Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Hawthorne, Gardena, Lawndale, Lomita, Carson, West Carson, Harbor City, Wilmington, San Pedro, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
This is not an entry-level cleaning job. We are looking for someone who already has real hands-on field-service experience, such as HVAC, appliance repair, dryer vent work, duct cleaning, maintenance, installation, handyman, or similar mechanical service work.
We provide premium residential and selected commercial dryer vent services, including inspections, cleaning, repairs, reroutes, code-correct installations, dryer delinting, airflow troubleshooting, and related dryer component work. Many systems we see are poorly built, unsafe, inefficient, or non-compliant. Our job is to identify the real problem and fix it properly.
This is a premium residential service role. Speed matters, but care matters more. The right person protects floors and walls, keeps the work area clean, communicates clearly, documents the job properly, and makes the customer comfortable having us in their home.
You will work in uniform, drive a branded company vehicle after onboarding and route readiness, and represent a professional, established operation — not a one-man handyman setup. We are a CSLB-licensed company and part of Dryer Vent Wizard, an established franchise brand with locations across the United States.
This is a route-based field role. After onboarding and route readiness, technicians are assigned a branded company vehicle, company tools, and a daily service route. Technicians work independently, represent the brand directly, and are responsible for company tools, materials, documentation, vehicle organization, and following company process without close supervision.
What you will do
- Perform dryer vent inspections, cleaning, repairs, reroutes, and new installations
- Perform dryer delinting and related dryer component disassembly/reassembly
- Identify airflow, safety, code, workmanship, and performance issues
- Explain findings and recommended solutions clearly and professionally to customers
- Take required before/after photos and complete job documentation accurately
- Maintain a clean, professional appearance and protect customer property
- Work safely in the field, including ladders, roofs, attics, crawlspaces, and other jobsite conditions when required
- Drive a company vehicle after onboarding and route readiness
- Manage a daily service route efficiently
- Keep tools, materials, and vehicle organized
- Serve residential customers as well as selected commercial customers such as salons and multi-unit properties
What we are looking for
- Prior hands-on field-service, repair, installation, HVAC, appliance, dryer vent, duct cleaning, maintenance, or strong handyman experience required
- Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on problem-solving ability
- Professional communication and customer-facing maturity
- High standards for cleanliness, safety, and workmanship
- Reliable attendance and punctuality
- Comfortable working independently in occupied homes and active businesses
- Able to communicate clearly and professionally with customers and management, both verbally and in writing
- Comfortable following a structured process and company standards consistently without close supervision
- Comfortable taking required job photos and completing written job notes
- Valid driver’s license
- Able to perform physical field work and safely lift, carry, climb, and work with tools
- Comfortable with ladders, roofs, attics, crawlspaces, and dirty work when required
Compensation
$30.00 to $38.00 per hour depending on experience, ramp-up stage, reliability, and performance.
Monthly performance bonus available.
Strong performers can earn approximately $80,000 to $90,000+ annually through top-tier hourly compensation, performance bonus, and overtime.
Paid training during ramp-up period.
Schedule
- Full-time
- In-person field work
- Los Angeles, Westside, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and South Bay
- Paid trial or paid ride-along may be used as part of the hiring process for qualified candidates
Hiring process
Finalists should expect a structured hiring process. We are selective because technicians work independently, represent the brand directly, and enter occupied homes and businesses.
Employment is contingent on successful completion of job-related screening, which may include interviews, reference checks, motor vehicle record review, background screening, and verification of work authorization, to the extent permitted by law.
Pay: $30.00 - $38.00 per hour
Expected hours: 40.0 per week
Benefits:
- On-the-job training
- Paid time off
Application Question(s):
- This role requires driving a company vehicle.
Do you have a valid driver’s license, and are you willing to authorize a job-related motor vehicle record review before any company-vehicle assignment?
Please do not include criminal-history details in your answer.
Choose one:
A. Yes, I have a valid driver’s license, I am willing to authorize the review, and I have no known license restriction, suspension, or driving-record issue that would prevent me from safely and legally driving a company vehicle.
B. I have a valid driver’s license and am willing to authorize the review, but I may have a license restriction, suspension, or driving-record issue to discuss.
C. No.
- What city and ZIP code would you normally leave from for work?
- This role requires following company rules exactly every day: uniform, clean appearance, punctuality, customer-home behavior, photos, notes, pricing process, inspection process, safety standards, van/tool organization, and no shortcuts.
Are you willing to follow the company process even if you have done similar work differently before?
Choose one:
A. Yes, I can follow the company process exactly.
B. I may need flexibility depending on the situation.
C. No.
- Can you reliably arrive at the first customer at the scheduled start time, which may be 8:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. depending on the route, in uniform, clean, prepared, and ready to work?
Choose one:
A. Yes, with no recurring restrictions.
B. I can usually do this, but I have restrictions and will explain them.
C. No.
- This is route-based field service. Jobs may run long, customers may add work, routes may change, and finish times may vary. Some Saturday work may be required, including at least every other Saturday when scheduled.
Are you able to work this schedule long term?
Choose one:
A. Yes, I accept variable routes, variable finish times, and scheduled Saturday work.
B. I may have restrictions and will explain them.
C. No.
- This must be your primary full-time job. During scheduled work hours, the priority must be the route, customers, communication, photos, notes, and completing assigned work.
Do you have any recurring job, business, school, transportation, caregiving, or personal obligation that would interfere with punctuality, attendance, responsiveness, or completing assigned routes?
If yes, explain exactly.
- This role requires professional English communication every workday, including customer explanations, safety/performance recommendations, job notes, texts, and communication with management.
Our customers value clear explanations, respectful behavior, clean work, and care inside their homes.
Are you fully comfortable handling this independently in English?
- Our posted base range is $30–$38/hour depending on experience, ramp-up stage, reliability, and performance.
What starting base hourly rate would you require to accept this role if selected after a paid ride-along?
Please enter one dollar amount only. Do not include bonus or overtime.
- Briefly answer all three parts:
A. Describe your most relevant hands-on experience for this role, including employer/project, dates, and what you personally did.
B. Describe one dirty job you personally completed inside a customer’s home or occupied building, including what you protected, what tools/materials you used, and how you left the area clean.
C. Scenario: You inspect a dryer vent system and find poor airflow, crushed flexible duct behind the dryer, lint buildup, and an old roof termination with a screen. What would you say to the customer to explain the problem, safety/performance risk, and repair options without sounding pushy?
- This opening is for our South Bay route, including Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, Hawthorne, Gardena, Lawndale, Lomita, Carson, West Carson, Harbor City, Wilmington, San Pedro, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Are you realistically able to service this area long term?
Choose one:
A. Yes, this area is realistic long term.
B. Maybe, depending on schedule and starting location.
C. No.
Work Location: In person
