Work the routes you already drive home on
Cook's hires people who live in and around Palm Coast to work in Palm Coast. The shop is on Fairmont Lane, the routes run from the Hammock to the Mondex, and the family that owns the company is in the building.
Who we’re hiring now
Four roles are open for the Palm Coast territory:
- Service technician. Diagnose and repair residential and light commercial systems of every brand. You’ll see a lot of 2004-to-2007 equipment on its last compressor, a lot of salt-damaged condensers near the Intracoastal, and a lot of clogged drain lines in September.
- Install technician. Replace and install Lennox systems, from a straightforward changeout in a Lehigh Woods garage to a zoned two-air-handler job in Grand Haven. Brazing, electrical, duct modification and a clean finish.
- Maintenance tech manager. Run the seasonal tune-up program: build the routes, keep the agreement customers on schedule, train the maintenance techs and hold the standard on every checklist.
- Apprenticeship helpers. Start on the truck with an install or service crew. Carry, learn, ask questions, and move up.
What the work is like here
Flagler County is not a mild place to work on air conditioning. The cooling season runs March through November, July dew points sit in the mid-70s, and the attics in the 1990s and 2000s subdivisions get brutally hot by mid-morning. We schedule attic work early for that reason and we don’t pretend it’s easy.
In return, the work is varied. A single day can include a 1970s ITT-era block home in Palm Harbor with original ductwork, a canal house whose coil has corroded through, a new-construction warranty call in Sawmill Creek, and a rooftop unit on a Town Center storefront. You learn the whole trade here, because the housing stock demands it.
Routes are local. Most technicians sleep in the county they work in, and nobody is dispatched from Fairmont Lane to a job three counties away.
How Cook’s is run
The company is family-owned. Jerry handles sales and sizing; Sean leads the technicians. When you have a question about a job, you ask one of them, not a regional manager on a video call. Trucks are stocked, parts are on the shelf at the shop, and the dispatch board is in the same room as the people who answer the phone.
What we ask back is simple: show up when you said you would, tell the customer the truth about what’s wrong, and leave the garage cleaner than you found it. That’s the reputation Cook’s has built in Palm Coast, and every hire either adds to it or doesn’t.
How to apply
Call 866-266-5709 and ask for the office, or email support@cooksair.com with a short note about your experience, any certifications you hold, and where in Flagler County you live. We’ll reply with a time to come by the shop and talk.
Questions from applicants
Do I need a certification to apply for the helper position?
No. Apprenticeship helpers start with a clean driving record, the ability to work in a Palm Coast attic in August, and a willingness to learn. EPA 608 certification and the rest come with training.
How far do the routes go?
Most days stay inside Palm Coast, with Bunnell, Flagler Beach and the west-county acreage mixed in. You will not be sent on a two-hour drive to another region to fill a schedule.
Is there on-call work?
Yes. Cook’s answers the phone and dispatches around the clock, so service technicians rotate through after-hours coverage. It is scheduled, shared and compensated, not sprung on you.
What's the path from helper to technician?
Expect ride-alongs with Sean and the senior techs, then supervised installs, then your own maintenance route, then service calls; ask Jerry how the timeline runs. [[CONFIRM WITH JERRY: training path]]
