CDL Septic Tech

Drainworks Plumbing & Septic
Colchester, CT Full Time
POSTED ON 7/30/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/26/2026

You're done with jobs that treat you like a warm body with a license.

You want steady hours, real respect, and work that actually matters.

You want to be on a crew that works hard, stays safe, and has each other's backs.

If you've got a CDL and you're not afraid of real field work, keep reading.

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.

The Hiring Process

We have a rigorous process for hiring, but move FAST for the right person. You could be hired in as little as 10 days! We've had lots of interest, so the first few steps are automated to make sure you can get considered quickly.

Don't worry—if you take the time to apply, we will respond to 100% of the applicants.

The process:

  • Click apply and answer a few Who, What, When questions. (5 min)
  • You'll be texted a link for a 10 min questionnaire that will help match you to the job (or others that might suit you!).
  • You'll get a text for a quick 1-way video question. (5 min)
  • We'll send you a link to get scheduled for an in-person interview.
  • You can easily be in for an interview within a couple days from right now.

What You'll Earn

You'll earn $25-$32 per hour, with a typical schedule between 35 and 50 hours a week. On top of that, there are spiffs and bonuses, plus a path to keep growing your skills through continuing education and hands-on learning.

Why Work With Us

This is a place for people who want a long-term trade career, not a stopgap job. DrainWorks invests in learning, mentorship, and mastering your craft. We work hard, but we also believe hard work should come with balance, respect, and support.

This is not for someone careless with equipment, casual about safety, or negative when the work gets tough. If you want to coast, complain, or dodge accountability, you won't like it here.

Who We're Looking For

You'll do well here if you're dependable, hardworking, safety-minded, and proud of doing things right. You should be the kind of person who can take direction, use initiative, work well with a crew, and stay professional with customers.

  • You must have a commercial driver's license
  • You should be comfortable towing trailers and driving dump trucks and service trucks
  • You need a clean driving record
  • Experience in excavation, septic, sewer, plumbing, utilities, or drainage work is preferred
  • You must be willing and able to lift 50-75 lbs and perform physical labor
  • You should be comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
