What are the responsibilities and job description for the Plumbing Field Supervisor - Residential position at Boston Budget Plumbing Heating and Cooling?
Boston Budget Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is hiring an experienced plumber ready to take the next step in their career as a Plumbing Field Supervisor.
This is a hands-on, player-coach role where you'll lead primarily through example. The majority of your time will be spent operating your own service truck, serving customers, and performing high-quality plumbing work while acting as a technical resource for the rest of the team.
In addition to running a successful truck, you'll provide phone support to technicians, assist with complex diagnostics, support apprentice development, and periodically lead larger projects, boiler installations, or challenging field situations when additional expertise is needed.
If you're already the person other plumbers call when they need help, we'd like to talk.
