Commercial Refrigeration and HVAC Technician Jobs — Dallas to Waco

Texian Cold is a commercial-only refrigeration and HVAC shop working the I‑35 corridor from Dallas down to Waco. Restaurants, convenience stores, ice plants, breweries, medical facilities, food retail. Walk-in coolers and freezers, ice machines, glycol chillers, rooftop units, hot-side kitchen equipment — the whole spectrum, not one narrow slice of it.

Texas TACLA89963C. R290 certified. Factory authorized for Norlake and Master-Bilt, Authorized Norcold Agent and Dealer, Atosa Authorized Service Tech. Running Central Texas since 2019.

Texian Cold is a Christian-owned business and it is run that way. Honest pricing, straight answers, and showing up when somebody’s cooler goes down on a Sunday. That is not marketing copy — it is why the accounts have stayed, and it is why we are picky about who wears the name.

Now Hiring: Commercial Refrigeration and HVAC Technician

Full-time · $40–50 per hour depending on experience · Based in the Waco area

Coming from Dallas–Fort Worth? We are open to applicants willing to relocate to Waco or close to it. The territory runs the I‑35 corridor, but home base is Waco.

What the work looks like

  • Diagnostic and repair calls on walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, prep tables, and merchandisers
  • Commercial ice machines — Manitowoc, Scotsman, Hoshizaki, Ice-O-Matic and others
  • Rooftop units, make-up air, and commercial HVAC repair and replacement
  • Glycol chillers, beer systems, and specialty cold storage
  • New installs, line sets, startup and commissioning
  • Preventative maintenance routes and remote monitoring callouts

What we are looking for

  • EPA 608 Universal certification
  • We prefer five or more years in commercial refrigeration — this is not a residential HVAC role
  • Comfortable running a call start to finish without somebody looking over your shoulder
  • Valid Texas driver license and a clean driving record
  • Your own hand tools; we supply specialty equipment

What comes with it

  • $40–50 per hour depending on what you bring
  • Take-home service truck with a fuel card
  • W‑2 or 1099 employment

What the Job Actually Looks Like

If you have been running commercial refrigeration for a while, you have a good idea what you want out of the next place and what you would rather not deal with again. Here is what this one is, so you can decide whether it lines up.

  • A defined corridor. I‑35, Waco up toward Dallas. Some days are a long drive, but you start and end near Waco.
  • A small shop. You will know the person making the parts and pricing calls, because there are not many of us.
  • Mixed equipment. Walk-ins, ice machines, chillers, rooftops, hot side. You will not be on one type of unit all week.
  • Commercial only. No residential change-outs, no attic work.
  • Repeat customers. Most of our work is accounts we have had for years, so you will see the same equipment and the same people more than once.
  • A shop with convictions. The owner is a Christian and runs the business on those principles. You will see it in how customers get treated and how disagreements get handled.

Worth a look before you decide: the equipment we work on and the territory we cover.

Looking for something longer-term? Texian is also talking with people about a partnership or ownership path in the business.

Apply

Fill out the form below and it comes straight to us. No account to create, no portal, no resume required — tell us what you have worked on and we will take it from there.

If you are currently employed, we keep it that way. We do not contact a current employer at any point without your say-so.


    What Happens Next

    Every application gets read by a person. If it looks like a fit you will hear back within a couple of days, usually by phone. The first conversation is short and it is mostly about equipment — what you have run, what you would rather not, and how you like to work.

    If the timing is not right on either side, we keep good applications on file and we do reach back out. Experienced commercial refrigeration techs are hard to find in Central Texas, and we would rather know who you are before we need you.
