Do you have a plumbing ticket and want to get your refrigeration ticket? Train toward your HVAC ticket with us!
If you’re a plumber who’s ready for the next big step — expanding your skills into refrigeration and working toward your HVAC ticket — this is your opportunity. We’re Porcupine Mechanical, a growing HVAC company in the beautiful Sea-to-Sky corridor, and we’re on a mission to decarbonize the built environment.
At Porcupine Mechanical, we design and install high-quality heat pump systems for residential and light commercial projects — from retrofits and renovations to new builds. Most of our work is in the Sea to Sky and we are growing into North Vancouver.
You’ll take ownership of your projects from start to finish, working with a team that values initiative, accountability, and pride in a job well done. It’s the kind of work that builds your skill set and moves you closer to your Red Seal Refrigeration ticket.
We’re not a big company where you’re just another name on the schedule. Here, your ideas matter, your work is noticed, and your future is something we invest in.
You’ll join a tight-knit team that values curiosity, craftsmanship, and community, where your growth matters as much as the work itself.
