Position Overview
As a Commercial Garage Door Installer, you will work alongside a Lead Installer to install a wide range of commercial garage doors and openers. Most projects involve new construction or remodels of commercial, agricultural, or industrial buildings, as well as replacement of existing systems.
This is a day‑shift, Monday–Friday position. On rare occasions (1–2 times per year), limited overnight travel may be required. Strong attendance, punctuality, and mechanical aptitude are essential.
