Ever wonder what it’s really like to work in the trades? Not the glossy version. The real stuff. Early mornings, hands-on training, wins you earn, and teammates who’ve got your back.
We talked to a few of our service technicians about what the job looks like, how they’ve grown, and what makes this more than just work. Whether you’re just starting out or ready for a change, their stories say a lot.
“It’s A Company That Cares”
Travis H., now a Home Services Consultant, has been with us for more than 10 years.
“To me, Lee Company represents a reputable, community-focused organization that values high-quality service, integrity, and strong customer relationships. I see it as a company that cares about both its customers and its employees. That’s something I want to be part of.”
Travis started in the field and worked his way up. Mentorship and training helped make that possible.
A Look at Life in the Service Field
No two days are the same, but here’s what most service technicians experience:
- Morning Start: Routes are pre-planned. Techs check in with their team, prep their trucks, and hit the road with the tools and info they need.
- Hands-On Problem Solving: Whether it’s a heater that won’t kick on or a facility that needs inspection, our teams find the fix.
- Team Support: New techs often partner with experienced pros. Learning while doing is part of the process. Even if you’ve been with us a while, there are plenty of opportunities to learn new things.
Smart Tools Make It Safer and Easier
From mobile apps to virtual support for remote assistance, our teams use technology that helps them work smarter. It keeps things moving quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, our technology adds a layer of safety and confidence for our team and customers.
Our Goal Is Simple
We want every technician to go home at the end of the day better off than they were that morning. That means zero accidents, finding a sense of belonging, and working toward a life-long career. We’re proud to offer real opportunities for our teams. Their growth isn’t just encouraged, it’s a priority.
Real Paths for Real Careers
Many of our techs begin as helpers and move into specialty roles or leadership.
- S.T.E.P. Program: Our in-house training helps employees grow in paths like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, sheet metal, and project management.
- Ongoing Support: Training doesn’t stop after day one. Classes are offered across all of our locations to help techs keep growing.
- Mentorship Built In: Whether you’re fresh out of school or switching careers, you won’t be in it alone.
Dale W., an experienced plumbing foreman who recently retired after 13 years with us, has seen firsthand how we encourage our people’s growth here. As he puts it, “Show up. Be willing to work. If you do that, you can do whatever you want here. Focus on what you’re doing, and when you look up, you’ll see opportunities.”
