Competitive Pay
Paid for skill and workmanship, not for how much you sold.
HVAC and plumbing careers across the Texas Hill Country — with a shop that measures you on workmanship, not average ticket.
Why Work Here
There are companies in this trade where the technician is measured on average ticket, and the pressure to sell a replacement on a repairable system is constant. This is not one of them.
We have been in Fredericksburg since 1986, and nearly forty years in one small market only works if people trust the diagnosis. That makes the job simpler: figure out what is actually wrong, explain it plainly, quote it fairly, and do the work properly. If you have been somewhere that made that hard, you will notice the difference.
The work is local — Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Boerne and the Hill Country — so you are home at night rather than three hours down the interstate.
72 Degrees is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Benefits
The things that actually matter over a career, not a signing bonus.
Paid for skill and workmanship, not for how much you sold.
Medical coverage options for you and your family.
Certification and continuing education paid for — including licence renewal.
Stocked properly, so you can actually finish jobs on the first visit.
Local routes across the Hill Country. No travel weeks.
Vacation and holidays, with a rota that shares the on-call fairly.
We answer 24/7, which means somebody is on call. It rotates across the team and it is compensated — it does not land on whoever is newest.
How We Work
Four things we hold ourselves to as an employer.
Recommend what the customer needs. Nobody is going to question you for talking someone out of a replacement.
Cameras, meters, jetters and stocked vans. Being asked to do skilled work with inadequate equipment is demoralising and we know it.
You will know the dispatcher and the owner by name, and they will know your work.
Apprentice to licensed, licensed to lead. We would rather promote than recruit.
Open Positions
Every role we are hiring for is on one page, with the detail and the application form. If nothing there fits but you do good work, send your details anyway — we would rather meet a good technician early than fill a role in a hurry.
Not necessarily. We hire licensed HVAC technicians and Master and Journeyman plumbers, and we also take on apprentices who want to earn their hours with us. Tell us where you are and we will be straight about what is available.
We answer 24/7, so on-call is real. It rotates across the team, it is compensated, and it is not dumped on the newest person. You will know your weeks well in advance.
Yes. Certification, continuing education and licence renewal are paid for. Keeping people current is cheaper than replacing them.
We do, and people relocate here regularly. Talk to us about what the move would involve.
