What our employees have to say :

There is never a day you don’t learn something new at CaptiveAire. I am able to learn something new due to the freedom to take on new tasks independently and problem solve.

I love the mindset of continuous learning and pushing the bounds of your capabilities and knowledge. I love the people I work with and the environment, particularly in a world where remote work is common. I love how Captiveaire is all about connections, with customers, coworkers, end users, and everyone in between.

One of the things I appreciate most about CaptiveAire is how strongly it embodies the entrepreneurial spirit. I’m empowered with the autonomy to manage my work independently, while also benefiting from the robust support and resources of a large, well-established company.

CaptiveAire is fast-moving and no-nonsense. We operate differently than any other company that I've worked for with our decentralized structure. Quick action is taken when a good idea is presented. We are focused on end users where the rest of the industry is very short-sighted. We are on the front lines, actively changing the landscape of the HVAC industry.

A Day in the Life :

Typical tasks include :

Comments from some of our sales engineers :

Every day I get to help someone. Whether it's an engineer with a design, a contractor with a troubleshooting issue, or an end user looking for help to obtain better indoor air quality. I get to use my engineering skills, people skills and business skills every day.

Our main "role" is not to sell products but to provide solutions - kitchen ventilation solutions, commercial ventilation solutions, heating / air conditioning solutions. I enjoy getting to work directly with end users and helping them complete their business goals. Attending a soft opening after completing a full design-build project with an owner is rewarding.
