What are the responsibilities and job description for the Septic Field Technician Apprentice position at Creech's Plumbing?
LEARN A TRADE THAT NEVER GOES OUT OF DEMAND
Every house with a septic system needs someone who knows how to work on it — and there aren't enough people who do. Creech's Plumbing & Septic in Wilson, NC is looking for someone to start at the bottom and learn this trade from the ground up, with real hands-on training, not a manual.
Every job you work, you'll pick up real skills: how a septic system actually works, how to diagnose problems, how to operate the equipment that makes this trade possible. Stick with it, and it builds into a long-term career, not just a paycheck.
What You'll Learn
- How a septic system actually works — diagnostics, repair, and installation, taught on real job sites
- How to operate the trucks, pumps, and equipment that make this trade possible
- The day-to-day skills that turn an apprentice into a technician — and eventually, your own crew
What You'll Be Doing
- Assist with job site setup
- Dig septic tank lids, pull hoses, move materials
- Support pumping, repairs, and system installations

This Job Requires

- Ability to lift 65–80 lbs repeatedly
- Experience with hand and power tools
- Valid driver's license with a clean record
- Ability to tow and back up a trailer
- Strong work ethic — shows up on time, every time
