Commercial Plumbing Team Chief Technician – JLL

What this job involves:

As Commercial Plumbing Team Chief Technician, you'll serve as both a senior technical leader and master-level practitioner, overseeing complex commercial and industrial plumbing operations that keep JLL's client facilities running smoothly. This critical role combines advanced hands-on expertise in large-scale mechanical systems with team leadership, mentoring the next generation of skilled technicians while ensuring projects meet rigorous quality, safety, and timeline standards. You'll bridge the gap between field execution and strategic project management, working directly with general contractors, engineers, and building inspectors to deliver exceptional results on high-profile commercial construction and service projects. Your technical mastery and leadership will directly contribute to JLL's reputation for operational excellence and client satisfaction across commercial real estate portfolios.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Lead and supervise a team of commercial plumbing technicians and apprentices by assigning daily work schedules, coordinating job site placements, and managing project milestones to ensure optimal productivity and on-time delivery.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, repair, and install complex commercial plumbing systems including high-rise drainage, industrial water heaters, commercial boilers, grease traps, backflow preventers, and medical gas lines across diverse commercial facilities.
• Interpret and work from complex blueprints, architectural drawings, and mechanical schematics to plan installations, modify commercial layouts, and ensure precise execution of technical specifications.
• Conduct comprehensive field inspections and quality assurance checks to verify all installations strictly comply with local commercial plumbing codes, building regulations, and JLL quality standards.
• Collaborate with general contractors, engineers, and building inspectors to coordinate project activities, review change orders, document variations, and maintain clear communication throughout project lifecycles.
• Enforce OSHA regulations and jobsite safety protocols by leading safety meetings, conducting toolbox talks, performing hazard assessments, and ensuring proper PPE utilization across all commercial and industrial work environments.
• Manage operational logistics including material procurement, specialized equipment rentals, inventory control for the commercial fleet, and assist with estimating labor and material costs for large-scale project bids.

Required Qualifications:

• Current, valid Journeyman Plumbing License (state-specific) with ability to work independently on commercial projects.
• Minimum 5 years of verifiable commercial or industrial field plumbing experience working on large-scale mechanical systems and infrastructure.
• At least 2 years of proven experience in a supervisory, foreman, or lead technician role managing teams and coordinating jobsite operations.
• Expert-level technical knowledge of heavy commercial plumbing systems, pipe fitting, brazing, and joining industrial materials including iron, copper, schedule 80 PVC, and stainless steel.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record to operate commercial service vehicles and travel to multiple job sites.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master Plumber License demonstrating advanced technical expertise and regulatory knowledge.
• Backflow prevention certification or willingness to obtain certification within the first 90 days.
• Familiarity with digital construction plan software such as Bluebeam or similar blueprint management tools.
• Experience with commercial dispatch or project management software platforms including ServiceTitan, Procore, or equivalent systems.
• Physical capability to lift and move heavy equipment up to 75 lbs independently and comfort working at heights using ladders, scaffolding, and scissor lifts.
