• Jobsite Evaluation & Problem Solving: Evaluate site conditions, identify installation challenges, and adapt to unexpected conditions in the field. Use experience and sound judgment to resolve issues whenever possible and keep the installation moving. Communicate promptly when an issue cannot be safely or properly resolved in the field, including incorrect materials, site conditions, or changes that affect the original scope.
• Quality Control: Verify proper door balance, track alignment, clearances, hardware and fastener installation, safety systems, operator settings, and overall operation before completing the job.
• Customer Experience: Communicate professionally with homeowners, builders, and other trades while protecting the customer's property and maintaining a clean jobsite.
• Leadership: Set the standard for workmanship, efficiency, and professionalism while providing direction to helpers or less-experienced installers when assigned to the job.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of professional garage door installation experience.
• Proven ability to independently complete residential garage door installations.
• Experience with high-lift and specialty track configurations.
• Experience with complex and high-end installations, including full-view aluminum/glass doors, oversized or heavy doors, and custom or specialty doors.
• Strong knowledge of torsion systems, track configurations, operators, hardware, and proper door balance.
• Ability to evaluate challenging site conditions, adapt in the field, and resolve installation issues without constant supervision.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
• Professional communication skills appropriate for working with homeowners, builders, and other trades.
• Ability to lead and provide direction to a helper or less-experienced installer.

What Success Looks Like

A successful Lead Installer can be given a complex residential installation and be trusted to plan it, execute it, troubleshoot it, and finish it correctly without needing constant supervision.

We expect our Lead Installers to work efficiently and do the job right. The standard is quality workmanship, productivity, accountability, and professional communication.
