Job description

Your HVAC career takes off here:

Working at Flo-Rite Mechanical & Controls isn't just another bullet on your resume. It's where your HVAC career takes off.

You've got a couple of years in the trade. You've pulled filters, changed belts, and run your share of PMs. Now you want more: bigger equipment, harder problems, and people who will actually teach you. We're hiring technicians who are hungry to learn and ready to grow into chillers and building controls.

Why Flo-Rite:

• We stay busy all year. We've completed 1,000s of commercial projects since 2014. When other shops cut hours in the cooler months, our heavy preventive maintenance schedule keeps you working. That's why we're hiring.
• Mechanical and controls under one roof. Learn the whole building: chillers, cooling towers, rooftop units, boilers, air handlers, and building automation.
• A real path to chillers and controls. Start with PM, step into service beside senior techs, then train on chillers and building automation. Paid ongoing education opportunities as well.
• Veteran-owned. We run every job with discipline and accountability, and we do it right the first time.

What you'll do:

• Own preventive maintenance on commercial equipment, following checklists and documenting every visit.
• Spot problems early and report what you find.
• Assist senior technicians with troubleshooting, repairs, and replacements.
• Read mechanical, piping, and electrical drawings.
• Work safely with lifts, recovery equipment, and test instruments, following lockout/tagout every time.

Who you are:

• Growth mindset: you treat what you can't solve yet as something to learn, and you take feedback well.
• Problem solver: you find out why instead of guessing or swapping parts.
• Responsible: you show up, follow through, and own your mistakes.
• Detail and process driven: you follow the checklist, catch the small things, and keep paperwork clean.

Requirements:

• 2+ years of hands-on HVAC experience (commercial and PM preferred).
• EPA 608 certification (Universal preferred).
• Working knowledge of refrigeration cycles and basic electrical.
• Able to work at heights and outdoors in Texas weather, lift 50 lbs, and work overtime as needed.
• Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and a passed background check.
• High school diploma or GED.
• Nice to have: troubleshooting experience, trade school or TDLR registration, OSHA 10, and exposure to chillers or building automation.

What we offer:

• $25 to $30 per hour, plus performance-based bonuses.
• Year-round work, including winter.
• Paid training on chillers and controls.
• Employer-paid medical, plus dental and vision, after a 90-day probationary period.
• 401(k), 8 paid holidays plus PTO, and company uniforms.

Flo-Rite Mechanical & Controls is an equal opportunity employer.
