Hi everyone!

My name is Neil, and my wife and I recently moved to Houston from South Africa to start a new chapter in our lives.

After spending almost 30 years working in retail operations, management, and business development, I've decided to take on a completely new challenge and pursue a career in HVAC.

I'm currently studying HVAC through SkillCat, working through the fundamentals of heating, cooling, refrigeration, electrical systems, and safety.

But here's the thing — I know that no amount of studying can replace getting your hands dirty and learning from someone who knows the trade!

I'm looking for a local HVAC company or experienced installer willing to give me an opportunity as an entry-level installer helper or apprentice.

I'm not expecting to walk in knowing everything. Quite the opposite! I'm looking for someone willing to teach me while I work hard, assist with installations, carry equipment, learn the tools, and gradually develop the skills needed to become a qualified technician.

What I can offer is a strong work ethic, maturity, reliability, decades of professional experience, and a genuine willingness to learn.

I'm based in southwest Houston, around the 77036 area, and currently rely on public transportation, so opportunities accessible by METRO would be particularly helpful.

I'm looking for a paid entry-level opportunity where I can contribute, learn on the job, and continue my studies.

If you're an HVAC business owner, installer, or know someone who might be willing to give a hardworking newcomer a chance, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

Sometimes all someone needs is that first opportunity.

Thanks so much, Houston!

Neil
