Build your skills with a company that values dependable people and invests in their development.

Prax is recruiting Commercial Plumbing Apprentices 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 learn from experienced plumbers while contributing to commercial construction projects. Candidates with less experience will be considered based on their qualifications and willingness to learn.

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’ll assist with underground installation, digging, rough-in and finish work under appropriate supervision.

What you’ll do

  • Assist licensed plumbers and foremen with commercial plumbing installations.
  • Prepare work areas and organize tools and materials.
  • Support underground, rough-in and finish work as directed.
  • Assist with digging, material handling and other construction tasks.
  • Follow field instructions and jobsite safety procedures.
  • Keep assigned work areas clean and organized.
  • Develop your knowledge of plumbing installation methods.
  • Arrive on time and communicate reliably with field leadership.

What you’ll bring

  • A current Texas Plumbing Apprentice registration.
  • Willingness to learn, take direction and develop your trade skills.
  • Dependable attendance and a commitment to safe work.
  • Ability to report reliably to assigned jobsites.
  • Willingness to perform physical tasks in outdoor construction conditions.

Previous plumbing or commercial construction experience is helpful. Bilingual communication skills are helpful but not required.

Pay and benefits

  • $20 to $28 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, where it applies

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.
