Septic Service Technician

Septic Service Technician — Summit Professional
Camano Island, WA · A five-tier climb · Full benefits after 90 days

You don’t arrive at the summit. You choose it.

Every day. Every job. Every customer. The summit isn’t a place you get assigned to — it’s a decision you make, over and over, about how you show up when the work is hard and no one is checking. 

Here’s the job, in plain terms

The homeowner is the hero of every job. They’ve got a problem under their feet they don’t understand, and they’re stressed about it. You’re the guide — calm, certain, with a plan — who makes it right and makes it make sense.

Your work is outside, on the property — the tank, the lines, the system the whole house quietly depends on. It’s the part of a home nobody sees and everybody counts on. When it’s working, a family never thinks about it; when it isn’t, it’s all they can think about — and you’re the one who makes it right.

You’re responsible for the system — not just the visit. Anyone can close a service call. A Summit Professional thinks a step ahead: what the system needs to last, and what the family should know before a small thing becomes a big one.

Ask a Summit Professional what they do for a living, and they won’t say “I pump tanks.” They’ll say: a house without a working septic system is just a campsite — I’m the person who keeps it a home. That’s the answer. That’s the work.

This is not a service call. It’s a trust call.

How we work — four things we don’t bend on

•We don’t sell — we give people a clear choice.

You lay out the options — Economy, Mid-Range, Premium — with the straight truth, so the customer can make the decision that’s right for their home and their budget. The choice is always theirs, and you’re at peace whichever way they go. 

•We work for a mission, not commission.

No commission, no quotas pushing you to oversell a neighbor. Your pay climbs by proven skill, not by what you talk someone into. 

•We earn the right to be recommended.

One job, one customer at a time. A referral isn’t asked for — it’s earned by the work. 

•We train for your property, not on it.

We won't send you to fumble at the customer's home you'll learn alongside people who've done the work, and help turn it into the standard as we build it.

The one thing we can’t train: belief

We require every Summit Professional to actually believe in this work. Not perform it — believe it. Because a homeowner can tell the difference between someone reading a script and someone who means it, and so can the person next to you on the climb towards the summit. Conviction is what makes the trust call real — it’s what makes the conversation believable, with a customer and with each other. 

We can teach the skill. We can’t install the belief. You bring that part.

The honest part (so you can choose with your eyes open)

It’s physical. Outdoors — rain, heat, cold. Some days you’ll work on the part of a home no one wants to think about. You’ll be trained harder than anywhere you’ve been, held to a standard most companies won’t set, and told the truth, plainly, when you miss it. The first 90 days are a test of whether you actually want this or only thought you did.

Most people won’t choose this. We aren’t built for most people.

A word on where we are

We're small, and we're building our systems right now — the training, the climb, the standards.  You won't plug into a polished machine; you'll help build it, and the standard you're held to will partly be one you helped write.  For the right person, that's the whole appeal: ground floor, real ownership, no bureaucracy.  If you need a finished playbook handed to you on day one, this isn't your mountain yet.

What we've set our sights on

We’re not trying to be the biggest septic company in the county. We exist to prove there’s a better way — better experience, better work, better people — and to build something that outlasts the people who built it. Every job done right is evidence in that case. When you keep a family’s home a home, you’re not closing a ticket — you’re proving the thing we’re here to prove.

That’s the summit we’re climbing toward. The only question is whether it’s yours too.

What’s waiting if you choose it 
•Real skill — a craft you can stand behind, not a placeholder job.

 
•Pay that climbs by proof. No commission, no gimmicks — raises at every tier, earned by what you can demonstrate, not how long you’ve been here. Certify a skill, and earn more the moment you can prove it. Already skilled when you apply and join? Prove it, and get an early bump in pay.

•Full benefits after 90 days — medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match.

•No ceiling. Apprentice to Elite — lead jobs, train the next climber, build the system. Performance pay turns on as the company hits its targets; when we win, you win.

The climb — real, and earned by proof

You advance by documented, observable, measurable proof. No politics. No favorites. No guesswork.

Base Camp (30 days) → Tier 1 · Proving It → Tier 2 · Owns It → Tier 3 · Elevates It → Tier 4 · Multiplies It → Tier 5 · Elite.  We're building the climb right now, and the first people through help shape it.

The climb is hard on purpose — that’s what makes reaching the next camp mean something.

Who a Summit Professional actually is

Forget the adjectives. Here is what it looks like in a real person. Read these and you’ll know if it’s you: 

• You do the job the same way whether or not anyone will ever check it — and you’d rather kill the cause of a problem than be thanked for patching it.
• When something goes wrong on your job, you say “I’ve got it” before anyone asks whose fault it was. You put your name on your work.
• When someone shows you a better way, you do it that way on the very next job — not after the third reminder.
• You explain a septic system to a worried homeowner with zero jargon, and you don’t stop until you can see they actually understand.
• When a teammate is buried and you’ve got room, you take part of the load before they ask. You don’t leave a job — or a person — half-finished for the next climber. 

It isn’t about where you’ve worked. It’s about how you show up.

Don’t choose this if…

•You ease off when no one’s watching.

•You hear a correction and defend instead of adjust.

•You go quiet when the work gets hard or the weather turns.

•You’d rather close a big ticket than do right by the customer.

•“Good enough” is good enough for you.

No hard feelings. Better we both know now.

The honest fine print Valid driver’s license and a record that lets you operate a company service vehicle (driving is part of the job). Able to do the physical, outdoor, hands-on work described above — lifting, digging, all weather. Willing to follow safety standards every time. We mean that: anyone here can stop an unsafe job, no permission needed, ever.

How to apply (5 minutes — and we read every one)

Three steps. Each one shows us something we can’t fake-test for: 

1. Apply here in BambooHR.

2. Two written questions:

• A time something went wrong that was on you — and what you did about it. (This is how we see whether you put your name on it.) 

• The most useful correction you’ve ever gotten — and what you changed because of it. (This is how we see whether you’re someone who adjusts.) 

3. A 30–60 second video (phone is perfect — paste the link): why this work, and why here? (This is how we hear what the work means to you, and how you explain something that matters.) We’re not grading the lighting. We’re listening for what’s real.

If the summit is yours, you already feel it. So will we. 

Aim for the Summit.
