Hands-on sheet metal background (3+ years leading crews) with strong SMACNA knowledge (pressure/seal classes, joints, reinforcement).
Proficiency with TDC/TDF/Ductmate systems; spin-in/saddle take-offs; opposed-blade volume control dampers (VCD); and best practices for exposed spiral installations.
Proficiency reading plans/specs/submittals; experience releasing fabrication/shop tickets; confident with Bluebeam (markup/take-offs).
Successful track record preparing AHJ inspections and closing punchlists.
OSHA-30 (or ability to obtain quickly); valid driver’s license and reliable transportation; on-site availability across South Florida.
Kitchen hood systems and kitchen exhaust ductwork installation experience (Type I/II hoods, grease duct per IMC/FBC, welds/fire-wrap/clearances).
