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.
