About the Role
We’re looking for Service Technicians to join our team and help deliver safe, reliable propane services to our customers. This role is hands-on and customer-facing — you’ll be setting propane tanks, installing gas lines, performing leak and pressure tests, and troubleshooting gas-burning appliances.
If you take pride in your work, enjoy solving problems, and want to be part of a team that values safety and customer service, this may be the perfect fit for you.
What You’ll Do
-
Deliver, set, and install propane tanks and gas lines in compliance with all codes and safety standards.
-
Drive and operate company service vehicles, including vans and boom trucks.
-
Conduct leak and pressure tests to ensure system safety.

Safely operate trenchers and other equipment for line installation.
-
Train and mentor helpers in job techniques and safety practices.

Maintain a clean and organized work vehicle and professional appearance.
-
Participate in on-call rotation as scheduled.
What We’re Looking For
-
Strong customer service skills — able to communicate clearly, respectfully, and professionally with homeowners.
-
Physical ability to perform job duties (lifting up to 100 lbs occasionally, climbing, kneeling, working in crawl spaces/attics).
-
Ability to detect leaks (hearing and smell required).
-
Skilled with hand tools, power tools, and job-related equipment.
-
Safety-first mindset with commitment to company, state, and federal regulations.
-
Previous propane/gas service experience is a plus — but not required (we’ll train the right candidate!).
Why Join Us?
-
Be part of a team that puts Safety First and values doing the right thing.
-
Competitive pay and benefits.
-
Ongoing training and development opportunities.
-
Work for a company where your skills make a real difference in the community.
