This position is a good fit for someone with strong residential plumbing experience who is looking for additional work and can represent our company professionally.

Schedule & Availability

This position has a variable schedule rather than fixed daily shifts. As jobs come in, we will contact you to coordinate assignments based on your availability, qualifications, and the urgency of the call.

We need someone who can provide backup service coverage, respond promptly, and take short-notice jobs when available. Calls may come in during the day, evening, overnight, or on weekends. Availability for nighttime and emergency service calls is an important part of this role.

Troubleshoot leaks, clogged drains, water heater issues, and water supply or drainage problems.
Perform water heater replacements, piping repairs, and other service work within your qualifications.
Assist with occasional commercial plumbing service calls.
Communicate findings, needed materials, and job progress to management.
Take clear before-and-after photos, test completed work, and leave the work area clean.
Treat customers, tenants, and their property with care and professionalism.

Qualifications

Current plumbing license preferred, but experienced apprentices and applicants with strong hands-on residential plumbing experience are welcome to apply. Responsibilities and supervision will be based on experience and licensing.
Practical troubleshooting skills and familiarity with common residential plumbing systems.
Reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license.
Dependable communication, punctuality, and follow-through on accepted jobs.
Availability for some evening, nighttime, and weekend calls.
Strong workmanship, attention to detail, and safe working practices.
