Pool Route Manager: Service, Repair & Equipment (Mechanics & Tradespeople Wanted)

This is not a pool cleaning job.

SLC Pool Service is hiring Route Managers to fully own a route of premium residential or commercial pools. That means the water, the equipment, the repairs, the installs, and the client relationship. When something breaks on your route, you’re the one who figures it out and fixes it.

We’re looking for mechanically inclined people. If you’ve worked as an auto or diesel mechanic, HVAC tech, plumber, electrician, small engine mechanic, maintenance tech, equipment operator, or in construction or military maintenance, you already have the hardest part: you know how to diagnose a problem and fix it with your hands.

Maybe you don’t have a trade on paper, but you’re the person friends call when something breaks. You rebuild engines in your garage, fix your own appliances, or can’t leave something alone until you understand how it works. We want to hear from you too.

Pool experience is a plus but not required. We’ll teach you pools.

What we expect, and when

We don’t expect you to know everything on day one. We do expect that within 4 to 6 months you’ll handle about 80% of what a route throws at you without calling for backup.

• Month 1: Train alongside our team. Learn water chemistry (chlorine, pH, alkalinity, CYA, LSI), our service standards, and our service app (Skimmer).
• Months 2 to 3: Run your own route with support. Start taking on pump and motor swaps, filter service, and PVC plumbing.
• Months 4 to 6: Full ownership. Equipment installs, automation troubleshooting, heater diagnostics, seasonal startups and closings. You’re the first call for your clients.

What you’ll do

Repairs, equipment & installs

• Replace and repair pumps and motors
• Install new equipment: pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems
• Troubleshoot chemical automation and control systems
• Diagnose and repair heaters (we’re a Pentair Authorized Warranty Provider)
• PVC plumbing: valves, unions, fittings
• Filter service: cartridge, DE, and sand
• Seasonal equipment startup and shutdown

Water chemistry & service

• Test and balance water chemistry to a high standard
• Keep every pool on your route looking perfect
• Document every stop with photos, readings, and notes

Client ownership

• Build real relationships with the people on your route
• Tell clients what you’re seeing before it becomes a problem
• Respond to questions same day
• Spot repair and upgrade needs and work with the office to get them quoted and scheduled

Requirements

• Strong mechanical aptitude, through work experience or hands-on projects of your own
• 2 years of hands-on mechanical, trade, or maintenance work preferred
• Comfortable diagnosing problems, not just following instructions
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
• Able to work outdoors year-round in Utah weather and handle heavy equipment
• A work history that shows you stick around

Preferred

• Pool, spa, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical troubleshooting experience
• CPO certification
• Bilingual English/Spanish

Who does well here

• You work hard and take pride in the finished product
• You ask questions. Curiosity beats pretending to know.
• You own your work. No passing the buck.
• You notice details: a loose union, a crooked lid, chemistry a tenth off
• You help your teammates get better
