Garage Door Technician Apprentice, Orlando FL

About the role

This is hands‑on mechanical work in hot and freezing garages, not a sales job with occasional lifting. You will diagnose problems, fix them yourself, and then talk to the homeowner like a trusted professional. We look for 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; selling isn’t optional — it’s the job, because no sale means no repair and no paycheck. The position is commission‑based, so every dollar you earn starts with a homeowner trusting you enough to say yes. You’ll receive six weeks of paid training (two weeks locally, four weeks at the Phoenix Academy, travel covered) plus a $1,000 graduation bonus, and there is a real career path toward building six‑figure earnings over time.

• Willingness to undergo a criminal background check and drug test (THC excluded).
• Basic tech comfort (apps, tablets) and reading/math skills for measurements and payments.
• No prior sales experience required — we’ll teach you how to sell.

Benefits

• Company vehicle + gas card.
• All tools provided.
• Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans.
