Put your commercial plumbing experience to work with a company that values your skills and invests in your future.

Prax is recruiting Commercial Journeyman Plumbers for an established contractor with more than 40 years in business. Our client is hiring to support a growing project workload, and some field employees have been with the company for decades.

You’ll work alongside experienced field leadership, fellow journeymen and apprentices to deliver safe, quality plumbing installations.

The work

Projects are primarily ground-up commercial construction, including industrial tilt-wall buildings, offices and medical offices, with some commercial tenant improvement work. You should be comfortable working across project phases, from underground installation and digging to rough-in and finish work.

What you’ll do

  • Perform commercial plumbing installations according to project plans and specifications.
  • Complete underground, rough-in and finish work as assigned.
  • Read and follow construction drawings and field instructions.
  • Coordinate with the foreman and crew to complete assigned work.
  • Assist with testing, inspection preparation and correction of installation issues.
  • Guide apprentices as assigned.
  • Identify field concerns and communicate them promptly.
  • Maintain safe work practices and quality workmanship.

What you’ll bring

  • A current Texas Journeyman Plumber license.
  • Relevant commercial plumbing installation experience.
  • Ability to read plans and follow project specifications.
  • Willingness to perform physical construction tasks, including outdoor and underground work.
  • Reliable attendance, clear communication and a willingness to learn.

Commercial tenant improvement experience is welcome, provided you’re also comfortable with ground-up construction work. Medical gas credentials and bilingual communication skills are helpful but not required.

Pay and benefits

  • $28 to $40 an hour, based on experience
  • 100% employer-paid medical insurance premiums for the employee
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Paid time off under the company’s accrual policy
  • Company-paid continuing education and safety training

Benefits are provided by the hiring company and are subject to plan terms and eligibility requirements.

Where you’ll work

Projects are located throughout Greater Houston. You’ll generally report to one assigned jobsite and stay there for the workday. Depending on the project and where you live, your commute may reach about 75 minutes.

This is a direct hire with our client.
