Garage Door Technician Apprentice, Charlotte NC

A1 Garage Door Service · Concord, NC · 1 mo ago
On-siteEngineering$60k–$90k/yrFull-time

About the role

This is hands‑on mechanical work in hot garages (and freezing ones), not a sales job with some lifting. You’ll diagnose problems, fix them yourself, then talk to the homeowner like a trusted professional. We want someone who puts people first: down‑to‑earth, dependable, easy to talk to, with a strong work ethic and the grit to do physical work daily. We’ll teach you to sell.

Responsibilities

Physical work every day includes springs, cables, rollers, openers, and motors – you repair and install it all. Expect to lift 75+ lbs., bend, kneel, climb ladders, and work in temperatures ranging from freezing to 100°F garages, hands‑on from the first job to the last.

Selling isn’t optional; it’s the job. No sale means no repair, no repair means no paycheck. The position is commission‑based, so every dollar you earn starts with a homeowner trusting you enough to say yes. We’ll teach you how to earn that yes; you bring the desire to close.

Requirements

  • 21+ years of age
  • Valid driver’s license with a 3+ year driving record
  • Ability to lift 75 lbs., bend, climb, kneel, and work in extreme temperatures regularly
  • Some hands‑on mechanical experience or comfort with tools (home services, auto shops, hospitality, DIY projects, etc.)
  • Willingness to undergo a criminal background check, drug test (THC excluded), and driving record check
  • Basic tech comfort (apps, tablets) and reading/math skills for measurements and payments
  • No sales experience required – we’ll teach that

Qualifications

  • Likes working with hands and solving mechanical problems (no garage door experience needed)
  • Puts people first: trustworthy, helpful, easy to talk to
  • Shows up prepared and does the work right every time, raising the standard
  • Follows through on commitments and earns trust through the finish line
  • Doesn’t mind getting dirty, sweaty, or cold
  • Wants to build toward six figures over time, not just a quick bump

Skills
