Mobile HVAC Technician | Houston Retail Portfolio

Mobile HVAC Technician | Houston Market About the Role

As a CBRE Mobile HVAC Technician, you will provide maintenance and repair services across a portfolio of approximately 24 retail locations throughout the Houston market. This role is ideal for a hands-on technician who enjoys working independently, building relationships with site contacts, and supporting facilities that require consistent, high-quality maintenance rather than emergency-driven service.

This position is part of CBRE's Engineering and Technical Services team, which delivers preventive maintenance, repairs, and operational support for commercial building systems. You will primarily focus on HVAC equipment, including rooftop units (RTUs), package units, and related mechanical systems, while also performing light electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance tasks as needed.

Unlike high-volume service environments, this portfolio provides a manageable service area with a smaller number of locations, allowing technicians to focus on preventative maintenance, quality repairs, and customer service while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
