Schedule: Monday to Friday

D.C. GOODMAN & SONS

Since 1914, D.C. Goodman & Sons has been a trusted mechanical contractor serving Central Pennsylvania. What began as a single plumbing shop has grown into a full-service contractor specializing in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection. Headquartered in Huntingdon, the company employs over 40 skilled trades personnel and technicians, serving commercial, healthcare, educational, and industrial clients including W R Grace Chemical Plant, JLG Industries, Containment Solutions, and Juniata College.

ABOUT OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT

Our service team is the face of the company every day. This is commercial-scale work on rooftop units, boilers, chillers, VAV systems, and backflow prevention, not residential service calls.

Our culture is key for our growth

D.C. Goodman & Sons is part of a larger, fast-growing family of companies, which has brought new resources and opportunities without changing what makes this team good at its job. Employees are treated like the skilled professionals they are, with room to grow a career alongside a crew that takes pride in doing the job right.

We’re looking for amazing people to join our team (more specifically, a LEAD SERVICE TECHNICIAN). The role is based in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.

Here’s where you come in

You are a skilled tradesperson at heart and ready to lead. You know commercial HVAC and plumbing inside and out, you like sharing that knowledge, and you’re the person other techs turn to when something gets complicated. You stay level-headed when a customer needs answers, and you take pride in being a steady link between the field and the office.

What you should know about our team

You’ll work hands-on in the field while training and guiding other technicians, serve as the go-between for techs and department heads, and field some customer calls and facility manager communication. We value people who lead by example, teach patiently, and keep communication open in both directions.

What you should know about D.C. Goodman & Sons
