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 โ€” this is the right seat for an apprentice who wants to get their Journeyman license while doing real commercial work.
Requirements:

What You'll Do

ยท Ride with a licensed Journeyman or Master plumber on commercial service and PM routes across DFW

ยท Assist on diagnostics, repairs, and installs โ€” you're the second set of hands that becomes a first set of hands

ยท Help with backflow testing, drain work, water heater service, and fixture repair

ยท Prep job sites, haul materials, run parts, and keep the truck dialed in

ยท Document work cleanly in ServiceTrade

ยท Learn the Modern way โ€” commercial service flow, code-correct installs, customer communication

We will support your path to your Texas Journeyman license. We pay for exam prep, continuing education, and backflow certification for apprentices who are pushing toward the next step.

What We're Looking For

ยท TSBPE-registered plumbing apprentice โ€” required

ยท 2+ years of commercial plumbing experience

ยท Clean driving record

ยท Own hand tools

ยท Hungry, humble, and smart โ€” coachable over credentialed

Nice to Have

ยท Actively preparing for your Texas Journeyman exam (we'll help pay for it)

ยท Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester (BPAT) endorsement

ยท Experience with ServiceTrade or similar field service management software

Schedule & On-Call

Monday through Friday, standard daytime hours. Rotating on-call coverage as the second on a truck with a licensed plumber.

Emergencies are emergencies โ€” 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

ยท Health, dental, and vision insurance

ยท Paid time off and paid holidays

ยท 401(k) available

ยท Overtime at 1.5x after 40 hours

ยท Paid continuing education, Journeyman exam prep, and backflow certification
