Aquarium, Facilities Maintenance & Repair Technician

Reef Tectonics (est. 1993) keeps aquariums and water features running beautifully for businesses and homes across Nebraska, Iowa, and the surrounding region. We're hiring a full-time, hands-on Field Service Technician based out of our Omaha location to service commercial and residential aquariums and handle light facilities repairs on a mobile route, with real schedule autonomy.

This is a great fit whether you're an aquarium/reef hobbyist ready to turn your passion into a career, or a skilled maintenance/handyman tech looking for steady full-time work with more independence. We'll train you on the half you don't already know. Company service vehicle, tools, and a flexible schedule provided.

What you'll do:

- Service and maintain fresh/saltwater aquariums: filtration, pumps, motors, lighting, water changes, and preventive maintenance.

- Install and relocate tanks, stands, and aquarium equipment.

- Service water walls, fountains, and water-purification systems.

- Handle general facilities/handyman tasks: minor HVAC (filters, basic repairs), plumbing/PVC, drains, lighting/ballasts, ceiling and floor tiles, and door hardware.

- Manage your own route around assigned work orders and keep simple digital records.

What you bring:

- Valid driver's license and a clean driving record (you'll drive a company service vehicle).

- Mechanical aptitude and comfort with hand and power tools; basic plumbing, electrical, and repair skills.

- Ability to lift up to 80 lbs and work in tight spaces.

- Reliability and self-direction; you manage your own schedule within work-order windows.

- Smartphone with a data plan and basic comfort using work-order apps.

- Preferred: aquarium/reef experience (hobby counts!), a facilities/maintenance background, or an HVAC/plumbing/electrical license.

Details:

- Full-time, W-2 employee; route-based with a flexible schedule.

- Pay: $25.00/hour.

- Company service vehicle and tools provided; flexible schedule.

- Based out of Omaha, NE; mostly local work, rare overnight travel.

- A clean criminal background check and driving-record check are required (insurance requirement, since you'll work unsupervised inside client businesses and drive a company vehicle).
