Lead Plumber / Foreman — Run Your Own Crews, Real Growth Path
- Assonet, MA | Full-Time | Year-Round Work
Piping Systems Installations (PSI) is a high-performance piping contractor serving Southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire — handling everything from heating and cooling to fire sprinkler, plumbing, and process piping on projects ranging from $10,000 service calls to $1M industrial jobs. We're looking for an experienced Journeyman or Master Plumber ready to step into a foreman role — running crews, owning job sites, and building a real career with a company that invests in its people for the long haul.
If you're tired of being just another guy on the crew and want to be the one calling the shots — planning the work, mentoring the next generation, and taking pride in a clean, well-run job site — this is your next move.
Why PSI:
- Year-round, steady work — no seasonal layoffs.
- Real leadership track: run crews now, grow into bigger roles.
- Variety that keeps the work interesting — commercial, industrial, and residential.
- Safety-focused, no-nonsense culture — we give you what you need to do the job right.
- Well-managed projects, so you're not fighting chaos every day.
What You'll Own:
- Lead and supervise crews across commercial, industrial, and residential plumbing projects.
- Install and oversee domestic water, sanitary, storm, hydronic, and gas piping systems.
- Handle layout, manpower planning, and daily field operations to keep jobs on schedule.
- Keep crews productive by managing material orders and onsite inventory.
- Read and build from drawings, specs, and submittals.
- Ensure work meets MA and NH plumbing code and safety standards.
- Be the point of contact for PMs, inspectors, GCs, homeowners, and other trades.
- Train and mentor apprentices and journeymen.
- Bonus: medical gas or hospital-type experience? Even better.
What You Bring:
- Active Massachusetts Journeyman Plumbing License (required).
- Proven foreman or lead tech experience.
- Solid grasp of MA plumbing code; willing to get licensed in NH.
- Strong leadership and communication — you can run a room and a crew.
- Reliable transportation for MA/NH job sites.
What We Offer:
- Competitive pay based on experience, plus incentive bonuses and on-call/shift differential pay.
- PTO starting from day one — up to 80 hours your first year, growing to 3 weeks after 5 years and 4 weeks after 10 years.
- 10 paid holidays per year.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance — PSI covers 75% of premiums, plus 100% of approved prescriptions.
- 401(k) with Safe Harbor Profit Sharing.
- Company-paid long-term disability and life insurance equal to your salary (up to $50K).
- Tuition reimbursement and reimbursed trade license costs (Plumbing, Gas-fitting, HVAC, and more).
- State-approved apprenticeship programs.
- Uniforms, safety gear/PPE, and a $200/year boots & glasses allowance.
- Gas, truck, and travel stipends where applicable.
- A genuine leadership path — with the training, mentorship, and structure to back it up.
Salary : $200 - $50,000
