Heat Pump Helper & Apprentice; Path to Master Installer

Just Heat Pumps is a fast-growing Denver-based heat pump installation company focused 100% on high-performance heat pump systems. We’re building a small, elite team that cares about craftsmanship, communication, and clean air
, not just speed.

We hire for character and aptitude first
, then build your skills together.

You’ll work directly alongside our lead apprentice installers on real residential heat pump projects across the Denver Metro and Front Range. This is physical, technical, rewarding work in homes.

• Field Work
  • Supply runs picking up materials and parts to keep jobs moving on time
  • Building concrete equipment pads for outdoor heat pump units
  • Assisting installers on install days carrying, staging, cleaning & supporting
  • Measuring, cutting, and learning ductwork
  • Helping mount air handlers and indoor units
  • Routing and protecting refrigerant line sets
  • Assisting pressure testing, deep vacuum pulls, and system startup
  • Organizing and tidying the warehouse and job sites
  • Doing whatever it takes to keep the team moving efficiently
• Learning and Growth:
  • You will be learning how a professional install operation runs from the ground up.
  • You will see how a poorly sealed duct system impacts real performance.
  • You will learn why airflow is often the hidden failure point.

Each week you’ll spend time on structured training covering heat pump fundamentals, airflow, duct design, refrigeration cycles, and commissioning best practices. You’ll work through open-ended problems alongside our lead installers and founders. You’ll turn ideas into real improvements, not just presentations.

You don’t have to be perfect at all of this on day one—but you need to be honest about what you know, hungry to improve, and comfortable with learning
. You don’t need HVAC experience. You don’t need a degree. You need to be hardworking, reliable, and honest.

You’ll be based in the Denver / Golden Metro area one of the most unique places in the country to work on heat pump systems:
Golden sits at the base of the Rockies, where cold snaps, high altitude, and dry air create real mechanical engineering challenges.

You’ll work on homes from 1900 bungalows to 1950s brick ranches to ultra modern builds, each with very different duct systems and design constraints. You’re minutes from Colorado School of Mines and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

And within an hour of mountain climates that push equipment to its limits. This is not an office job and not a desk job and certainly not an AI job. This is real work, in real homes, building real…
