RCL Mechanical is a locally owned and operated business known for high-quality plumbing, AC, heating, throughout Massachusetts & Rhode Island.

RCL Mechanical is committed to our employees and their growth—not only within the company, but within their community. The secret to our success is in the hands of our employees, and every employee has a voice here at RCL Mechanical!

RCL Mechanical is looking for an experienced Residential Plumbing & HVAC Working Field Lead Technician who can represent our core values while providing strong technical leadership and support to our residential field team.

This individual will not only supervise and support our technicians—they will also work in the field performing residential service, diagnostic, repair, and installation work as part of their regular responsibilities.

We are looking for someone who can lead from the field. One day you may be running your own service calls, and the next you may be assisting a technician with a difficult diagnosis, inspecting an installation, coaching a team member, or helping resolve a customer concern.

You will work closely with our Service Manager to improve field efficiency, technical performance, quality, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The ideal candidate is a highly experienced residential technician who can confidently perform the work themselves while also teaching and developing others.
