What our employees have to say:
I love the mindset of continuous learning and pushing the bounds of your capabilities and knowledge. 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.
What I truly admire about CaptiveAire is the company’s unwavering commitment to innovation and continuous improvement… Equally impressive is the culture of open communication that exists throughout the organization. From my own experience, upper management never takes the stance that a task is “not their job.” Instead, there’s a shared understanding that every role is essential to the company’s success. This mindset, combined with the transparent communication across departments and facilities, creates a collaborative environment that truly sets CaptiveAire apart.
We want to stay on the cutting edge and so are constantly sourcing and utilizing the best equipment available. Any position can provide feedback that is listened to and incorporated into processes. Collaboration is key at CaptiveAire and so there is no being “Silo-ed” into one area.
CaptiveAire is fast-moving and no-nonsense. We operate differently than any other company that I've worked for with our decentralized structure. Quick action is taken when a good idea is presented. We are focused on end users where the rest of the industry is very short-sighted. We are on the front lines, actively changing the landscape of the HVAC industry.
