Job Description Mobile Hose Installation Technician PIRTEK Brownsville Brownsville, TX 78521 and the Rio Grande Valley Full-time | Field / mobile | On-call rotation About PIRTEK Brownsville PIRTEK Brownsville is a locally owned franchise providing 24/7/365 on-site hydraulic and industrial hose replacement across Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito, Port Isabel, and the surrounding Rio Grande Valley. We work from fully equipped mobile service vans and commit to a 1-hour emergency ETA so ports, plants, farms, and job sites get back to work without hauling equipment to a shop. Our customers include the Port of Brownsville, marine and ship-repair yards, construction and earthmoving contractors, manufacturers and maquiladora support operations, agriculture, waste and recycling fleets, and oil, gas, and energy sites along the South Texas corridor. See PIRTEK Brownsville for the service model. PIRTEK is the nation’s leading provider of on-site hydraulic and industrial hose assembly and replacement. This location is independently owned and operated. The Role You will run a purpose-built PIRTEK mobile workshop van and respond to service calls across the Valley. Most days you will diagnose a failed hose, cut, clean, tag, and crimp a replacement on site, get the machine back in service, and leave the customer with a clean, documented job. Hydraulic hose experience is not required. We train you on PIRTEK products, processes, safety, and how to operate the van. Mechanical aptitude, a clean driving record, and the willingness to work dirty jobs in heat, rain, and after hours matter more than a hose-shop resume. This is a messy, physical, customer-facing job. You will get oil on your hands, climb on equipment, and take rotating after-hours calls. If you like working independently, solving problems on the spot, and representing a local business on site, this is the role. Responsibilities · Respond to on-site service calls across Brownsville and the Rio Grande Valley, indoors and outdoors · Identify worn, leaking, or failed hydraulic and industrial hoses · Remove the failed assembly and fabricate the replacement on the van (cut, clean, tag, crimp) · Install the new hose and confirm the equipment is running before you leave · Contain and clean oil spills and contaminants to the customer’s standard and to federal, state, and local rules · Perform preventative hose inspections and recommend replacements before a breakdown · Build relationships with new and existing customers and look for follow-up work · Enter job details accurately so invoices are correct · Keep the van, tools, inventory, and uniforms clean, stocked, and ready · Follow PIRTEK and job-site safety rules, including PPE and site-access requirements · Participate in the rotating after-hours and weekend on-call schedule · Other duties as assigned What You Bring Required · High school diploma or GED · Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record · Ability to pass a background check · Mechanical aptitude and comfort with hand tools · Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and to stand, kneel, bend, climb, and work in awkward positions · Ability to work outdoors in South Texas heat and weather · Ability to read, write, and communicate with customers in English · Self-motivated, dependable, and comfortable working alone in the field · Willingness to work a rotating on-call schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays Preferred · Bilingual English / Spanish · Experience on heavy equipment, diesel trucks, marine equipment, farm equipment, industrial maintenance, or automotive / field mechanics · Prior mobile service, hose fabrication, or hydraulic system work · Local knowledge of Brownsville, Harlingen, and Cameron County job sites · Ability to obtain site credentials (TWIC, OSHA 10, MSHA, or customer-specific badges) as needed What We Offer · Competitive hourly pay based on experience · Overtime and on-call incentive pay · Company service van for work and commuting · Paid PIRTEK technical training, plus 24/7 technician support for unusual field problems · Uniforms provided · Career path to lead technician, operations, or franchise ownership · A local, owner-operated shop where no two days look the same Schedule and Territory · Full-time, typically Monday–Friday field days · Rotating after-hours and weekend emergency coverage to support 24/7/365 service · Territory: Brownsville, TX and surrounding Rio Grande Valley / South Texas sites · Mobile service only — you work from the van, not a walk-in counter PIRTEK Brownsville Brownsville, TX 78521 pirtekusa.com/locations/brownsville This franchise is independently owned and operated.
