HVAC Installation Foreman

Keith Air Conditioning, Inc. | Mobile, AL
Full-time | Serving Mobile and Baldwin Counties

Keith Air Conditioning is hiring an HVAC Installation Foreman to run the day-to-day operations of our installation department. You’ll lead our install crews, plan the work, train installers, and make sure every system is installed and started up to our standards. You’ll also help scope and estimate duct projects, complex installations, and commercial equipment replacements.

This is a hands-on leadership role. On a typical day, you might assign crews in the morning, visit a job to solve an airflow or controls issue, and walk a commercial site to figure out what a replacement will take.

What you’ll do

• Run the install schedule. Match lead installers and helpers to jobs based on skill level, job complexity, and workload. Adjust assignments when jobs run long or priorities shift.
• Get jobs ready before crews arrive. Coordinate with sales, the office, and the warehouse to confirm scope, equipment, materials, and site access. Plan for lifts, cranes, or special equipment when needed.
• Train and develop installers. Coach leads and helpers in the field, identify training gaps, and help helpers build the skills to become lead installers.
• Own installation quality. Inspect work in progress and completed jobs. Verify workmanship, airflow, drainage, controls, and startup documentation. Review callbacks with the crew and address recurring issues through training or process changes.
• Solve field problems. Help crews work through difficult duct layouts, equipment fit, control wiring, startup issues, and site conditions that differ from the original scope.
• Help estimate complex work. Walk job sites with the sales team, identify what the job will require, and provide realistic labor and material estimates for duct projects, complex residential installations, and commercial replacements.

What you’ll bring

• Significant hands-on HVAC installation experience, including residential replacements, ductwork, and commercial equipment replacements.
• Experience leading installers, assigning work, coaching crew members, and holding a team accountable for quality and safety.
• Extensive HVAC technical training and the ability to apply it in the field. You should be comfortable troubleshooting airflow and static pressure, refrigerant systems, electrical and controls issues, and equipment startup.
• Ability to evaluate a job site and estimate labor, materials, and installation logistics.
• A valid driver’s license.

Carrier-specific factory or distributor training is a strong plus. Keith Air Conditioning is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, and experience installing, commissioning, and troubleshooting Carrier equipment is especially valuable.
