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.

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.
