    Job Description

    Make Home Comfort Better—One Visit at a Time

    High base pay with performance incentives | Take-home service vehicle | Full benefits | No high-pressure selling

    At Yellow Dog Plumbing, Heating & Cooling in Needham, MA, we’re growing—and we’re hiring an experienced residential HVAC pro who prefers fixing problems over pushing sales. If you love delivering precise diagnostics, clean repairs, and a helpful homeowner experience, you’ll fit right in.

    A Day in the Life

    You start your morning by checking your schedule on your tablet in your driveway—yes, you take your newer, well-equipped truck home. Your first call in Newton is a heat pump that isn’t keeping up. You listen, observe, and diagnose. You explain what you found in plain language, present clear options without pressure, and complete a quality repair. In the afternoon, you handle a boiler tune-up in Wellesley, flag a part nearing failure, and help the homeowner plan ahead. Every visit ends with a tidy workspace and a confident customer.

    Why You’ll Love Working Here

    • Great Pay + Stability: Competitive base rate for steady income year-round, plus strong performance upside.
    • No High-Pressure Sales: We prioritize what’s right for the customer—educate, offer options, never push.
    • Take-Home Truck: Late-model, well-stocked vehicle, fuel card, uniforms, pant allowance, and boot allowance.
    • Excellent Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with 4% company match, paid time off, parental leave, tuition reimbursement, tools, and more.
    • Real Career Path: Grow into leadership, training, or mentoring as we expand.
    • Your Voice Matters: Work directly with leadership, including the owner/CEO—help shape how we do things.
    • Great Service Area: Needham, Newton, Wellesley, Brookline, Weston, and nearby communities.

    What You’ll Work On

    • Diagnose, repair, and maintain residential HVAC systems with precision and care.
    • Communicate findings and options clearly; guide homeowners to the best decision for them.
    • Perform high-quality repairs and maintenance, and spot potential issues early.
    • Represent Yellow Dog professionally in every home.

    What You Bring

    • 5+ years in residential HVAC service and/or installation.
    • Strong troubleshooting skills; capable across furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, mini-splits, and traditional A/C.
    • Commitment to craftsmanship and cleanliness.
    • Clear, respectful communication with homeowners; outstanding customer care.
    • Ability to work independently and make sound decisions in the field.
    • EPA 608 certification.
    • Valid driver’s license with a clean record.
    • Curiosity and drive to keep learning.

    Experienced installers looking to transition into service are encouraged to apply. If you’re confident in both service and install, we especially want to meet you. Master HVAC Technicians receive special consideration and may see additional opportunities.
