This is a hands-on, field-based service position focused on troubleshooting, repairs, preventative maintenance, and emergency response—not primarily new construction.

This role provides the independence to troubleshoot and solve complex mechanical challenges while working with top-tier equipment and vehicles.

You will enjoy the stability of an established industry leader that actively invests in your continuing education, technical certifications, and long-term career growth.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Diagnose and resolve complex plumbing, drain, and piping issues for commercial, office, and light industrial clients.
• Execute end-to-end service work, including drain rodding, sewer televising, leak investigations, pump overhauls, and water heater repairs.
• Complete precision installations, rough-ins, and trim work for commercial fixtures, gas piping, air lines, and backflow devices.
• Manage daily dispatch schedules, track material usage, and document completed work orders seamlessly via mobile tablet software.
• Maintain assigned company service vehicles, monitoring inventory levels and ensuring high standards of tool maintenance and safety.
• Participate in a balanced on-call emergency response rotation to support critical commercial client operations.
• You will serve as a trusted technical specialist delivering comprehensive plumbing solutions across diverse commercial, retail, and light industrial facilities.
  
  

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Strong independent diagnostic and problem-solving ability.
• Valid driver's license and eligibility to operate a company service vehicle.
• Ability to read plans, identify plumbing system problems, and complete code-compliant repairs.
• Ability to handle changing schedules, emergency service calls, and customer-facing interactions.
• Ability to perform essential physical duties, including lifting up to 50 pounds and working from ladders or lifts, with reasonable accommodation where applicable.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

• Advanced expertise in sewer camera inspections, line locating, and high-pressure jetting equipment.
• Familiarity with light industrial process piping, air lines, and commercial boiler systems.
• Demonstrated experience utilizing digital work-order platforms and mobile dispatch applications in the field.
• Commercial sewer rodding, televising, jetting, and line locating.
• Commercial water heaters, pumps, drains, and fixture repairs.
• Retail, office, and light industrial service environments.
  
  

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly rate of $45.00 to $55.00 per hour with weekly pay cycles and overtime potential.
• Overtime and On-Call rotation with additional earning potential.
• Comprehensive bonus program including sign-on bonus, performance incentive bonus, and profit sharing.
