Start Your Journey with Bye Radon

Estimated start date: ASAP

Bye Radon is expanding in Calgary, and we’re hiring a mechanically skilled, tool-proficient installer who is ready to move quickly into a full Radon Mitigator role. This is not an entry-level labour position. We’re looking for someone with real construction or mechanical experience who can step into a fast-paced, technical trade and advance quickly.

Radon mitigation is meaningful work that protects families from the second leading cause of lung cancer. If you want a role where your technical ability matters, and where you can grow into a specialized, well-paid trade, this is the opportunity.

Compensation

$180 / dayDuring training (until certification)
$250–$260 / dayFull Mitigator, based on experience vs. Red Seal trained

Most candidates with strong tool and construction backgrounds progress to a full mitigator role within the first 3 months.

Additional earning potential

Beyond base daily rates, team members have access to performance-based earnings, which may include double-day installations (two daily rates in one day), solo-day premiums, Red Seal top-up rates, annual bonuses, and periodic team competitions. We also offer incentives for exceptional workmanship, HEPA HERO installs, and other programs introduced through the year. Our top performers regularly exceed the typical annual range.

Why Join Us?

  • Dynamic work locations: our job sites bring you to varied places.
  • Positive & supportive team: collaboration and growth are valued.
  • Flexible hours: 4–8 hour shifts give you variety.
  • Growth opportunities: learn a skilled trade and build a career.
  • Work-life balance: weekends free (weekend shifts available if desired).
  • Professional look: company shirts, hoodies and hats provided.

What You’ll Do

  • Perform radon mitigation installations in residential and light commercial settings
  • Drill through concrete slabs, rim joists, and foundations
  • Run PVC piping, mount fans, seal penetrations, and complete full system builds
  • Use power tools confidently and safely (hammer drills, impacts, saws, vacuums, etc.)
  • Diagnose suction points, airflow, and system performance
  • Maintain clean, safe, professional job sites
  • Communicate respectfully and professionally with homeowners
  • Work independently once trained, with full support from our operations team

Who We’re Looking For (Strict Requirements)

Strong tool experience

You must be confident with hammer drills, impacts/drivers, saws, concrete drilling or coring, and general construction tools.

Mechanical or construction background

For example: HVAC, plumbing, carpentry, concrete work, renovations, or other mechanical trades.

Physical aptitude

  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs
  • Comfortable on ladders
  • Able to work in basements, crawlspaces (tight spaces), and outdoors

Reliable transportation

While training, a personal vehicle to travel to job sites is essential. Once all criteria for certification are met, a company truck will be provided.

You must be a clear, confident communicator; personable and respectful with homeowners; able to explain what you’re doing in simple, professional terms; someone who maintains a clean appearance and professional conduct; and fully aligned with our zero-tolerance policy for substance use on job sites.
