Why Join One Hour?
We are building our Dayton operation from the ground up. This is an opportunity to work directly with local ownership and help establish our technical standards, culture, and reputation from day one.
This is not simply a request to associate a license with a company. We want an experienced professional who can serve as a trusted technical resource while helping us build a safe, compliant, high-quality residential HVAC operation.
We offer competitive compensation, flexible involvement, additional paid technical/field opportunities, national-brand resources and training, and long-term growth potential.
