About Modern Mechanical Services
Modern Mechanical Services is a commercial HVACR and plumbing contractor based in Dallas. We serve commercial real estate, hospitality, private schools, healthcare, multi-site retail, and storage facilities across DFW, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. Our commercial plumbing division launched in February 2026 and is growing fast — this is a ground-floor seat on the plumbing side of a company that already runs a dialed-in commercial operation.
Requirements:
What You'll Do
· Run commercial plumbing service calls across the DFW metro
· Diagnose and repair on occupied commercial buildings
· Preventive maintenance routes — backflow testing, drain jetting, water heater service, fixture work
· Service and repair water heaters, fixtures, drains, gas lines, and supply lines
· Backfill on project and install work when service volume is light
· Document work cleanly in ServiceTrade so customers and the office know exactly what happened
What We're Looking For
· Current Texas Journeyman Plumber license (TSBPE) — required
· Commercial plumbing service experience
· Clean driving record
· Own hand tools
· Able to work cleanly and professionally in occupied commercial spaces
· Hungry, humble, and smart — we'll take coachability over 25 years of doing it the wrong way
Nice to Have
· Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester (BPAT) endorsement
· Medical gas certification
· Experience with ServiceTrade or similar field service management software
Schedule & On-Call
Monday through Friday, standard daytime hours. Rotating on-call coverage.
Emergencies are emergencies — that's the trade. But we've built dispatch and documentation so our technicians don't get paged at 11pm for something a dispatcher should have handled. Planning and prevention are the product.
Compensation & Benefits
· Company truck use and fuel card (full-time)
· Health, dental, and vision insurance
· Paid time off and paid holidays
· 401(k) available
· Overtime at 1.5x after 40 hours
· Paid continuing education, Journeyman and Master exam prep, backflow and medical gas certifications
How to Apply
Apply through Paylocity. We respond to every qualified applicant.
