Why just work a job when you can build a career?

Fireplace & Chimney Authority, Chicagoland’s largest fireplace and chimney company, is growing—and we’re looking for motivated, eager-to-learn Chimney Sweep Apprentices to join our expanding Chimney Sweep Division.

This is a hands-on, paid apprenticeship with on-the-job training, mentorship from certified professionals, and a clear path toward certification and advancement.

About Fireplace & Chimney Authority

Since 1992, Fireplace & Chimney Authority has proudly served Chicagoland homeowners with unmatched craftsmanship, integrity, and customer care. What began as a local chimney service company has grown into a trusted industry leader offering chimney services, fireplaces, and outdoor living solutions.

Our modern, customer-focused showrooms and highly trained team set us apart. We guide customers from initial design through installation—and continue supporting them with annual inspections and maintenance for years to come. We believe in long-term relationships, quality work, and doing things the right way.

Is This Role Right for You?

We’re looking for dependable individuals who:

• Want to learn a skilled trade
• Enjoy hands-on, physical work
• Take pride in safety, craftsmanship, and teamwork
• Value building long-term relationships with customers

• Work on the ground, ladders, roofs of varying heights and pitches, and scaffolding
• Assist both the Chimney Sweep Division, Masonry Division, and Fireplace Installation Division as needed
• Work closely with certified chimney sweeps while receiving hands-on training
• Study and train toward chimney sweep certification
• Progress toward managing your own service route
