Who We Are
DrainWorks is a family-owned and operated company that solves plumbing, sewer, septic, and water problems for residential customers. If you're stepping into this CDL Septic Tech role, that matters to you because you'll be valued, supported, and trusted to do work the right way.
We're built on collaboration, integrity, safety, accountability, and pride in the craft. That means you won't be left on an island here. You'll work with a team that communicates clearly, helps each other, and takes the work seriously without acting like life outside work doesn't exist.
What You'll Be Doing
Your days will be hands-on and real. You'll be driving company vehicles, towing trailers, working outdoors, and helping solve septic, sewer, drainage, and utility problems that customers can't ignore.
Some days you'll be in the truck. Some days you'll be in the dirt. You'll lift, move, haul, and handle physical work in changing weather. You'll be expected to care for the equipment, follow safety protocols, and show up ready to help the crew win.
This role matters because customers are counting on the job to get done professionally, safely, and without excuses. If you like being useful, learning more of the trade, and earning respect through solid work, you'll feel that here.
