Location: Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Surrounding Areas

Job Type: Independent Contractor (1099) Pay: $400 per job (avg. job takes ~4 hours — equivalent to about $100/hour)

About the Role

Carolina Water Works is looking for a licensed and experienced Water Filtration Installer to join our growing team. You'll install, service, and troubleshoot whole-home water filtration and treatment systems for residential customers across the service areas. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in quality workmanship and enjoys solving problems on-site.

Engagement Type

This is an independent contractor position (1099). You'll be engaged on a per-job basis rather than a fixed schedule — as installation jobs come in, you'll be offered the opportunity to accept and complete them.

As an independent contractor, you'll be responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and equipment unless otherwise noted below.

Bring your own standard tools for the trade.

Pay Structure

You'll be paid $400 per completed installation job. The average job takes about 4 hours, which works out to roughly $100/hour — faster, efficient techs can earn even more per hour.
