Top 5 Reasons to Make the Move to Hughes

You’ve been in the HVAC business for a while now, getting better at what you do and learning more every day you go out there. In fact, you’re not unhappy at all. You like the work, you like the people, and you’re making decent money. It’s going well, right?
Right?...

But you’re thinking about it. Of course, you are. But if there was something better out there, how would you even know?It’s not just the money, the benefits, or the training. It’s everything. Everything has to be a step up if you’re going to consider a move. Here are some compelling reasons why you should grab the opportunity and start working at Hughes Environmental Engineering.

1. The Money

All Hughes technicians just got a pay raise. More raises are coming for apprentices in the coming weeks. As a union shop, Hughes pays at the highest end of the scale. In addition, new for summer 2022 is an exciting bonus program. Earn a fat bonus and up to a week’s extra vacation. No waiting period.

2. The Benefits

Did we say Hughes is a union shop? Its medical insurance, retirement programs, and paid days off are second to none in the HVAC industry. Your family is well taken care of. Show Hughes your current plan and see how it stacks up to what they can offer.

3. The Work

Hughes really makes an effort to give its techs a wide variety of commercial equipment to work on. Package equipment, chillers, boilers, commercial refrigeration, controls – you name it.

Every day is different for a Hughes tech. You will get better and become more experienced immediately.

4. The Flexibility

You want the OT? There are plenty of opportunities to make some extra paycheck. Need to be home? The large field staff at Hughes allows for plenty of flexibility to take care of your personal commitments. And a bonus – techs at Hughes only have to take weekly on-call duty two or three times per year, which is one of the many advantages of being with a large crew.

5. The Education

Hughes pours massive amounts of resources into training you to be the best. Union apprenticeships are fully paid by the company, and, throughout the year, there are extra classes on everything the manufacturers are putting out there. Hughes has its own classroom, and the senior guys are always available to pass on their knowledge to up-and-coming techs like you!

Don’t just make a move for a little more money! If you’re going to do this, commit to yourself that you’re going to make it all better. Apply today!
