The RoleWe’re hiring one service plumbing technician to handle basic residential plumbing repairs while working closely with a senior-level field supervisor for complex diagnostics and system-level issues.
Your main objective is to deliver exceptional 5-star customer service on every visit — setting the stage for a great client outcome, building trust with the homeowner, and acting as the first line of defense inside the home.
You are not expected to solve everything yourself.
You will:
- Complete the immediate repair professionally and correctly
- Communicate clearly, respectfully, and honestly with homeowners
- Identify potential underlying or long-term plumbing concerns
- Work directly with a field supervisor
, who will take over for advanced diagnostics and present any long-term or system-level solutions to the client
This role is not sales-driven and does not require advanced diagnostics
. Success comes from workmanship, professionalism, communication, and clean hand offs — not up-selling.
You are expected to be competent (or actively learning) in basic residential service repairs
, including:
- Leaky faucets & dripping shower heads
- Running toilets & basic toilet clogs (auger-level)
- Under-sink leaks, P-traps, and exposed piping
- Garbage disposal jams & resets
- Dishwasher drainage issues (air gaps, hoses, knockouts)
- Knowing when an issue is basic vs. needs escalation
Advanced work (mainline camera inspections, gas work, system replacements, complex diagnostics) is handled by senior technicians and field supervisors
.
- Arrive on time, in uniform, ready to work
- Enter customer homes professionally and respectfully
- Diagnose the issue, explain it clearly, and perform the repair
- Use standard service tools and approved repair methods
- Leave the workspace cleaner than you found it
- Follow a repeatable service process that supports you — not micromanages you
- Actively enrolled in the Idaho Plumbing Apprenticeship Program
(or already a licensed Journeyman)
- Clean driving record & valid driver’s license
- Drug-free workplace
- Professional appearance and strong communication skills
- Coach-able mindset — able to follow established processes
- Comfortable running single-job service calls independently
- Competitive hourly pay with clear growth tied to skill progression
- Consistent service work — no feast-or-famine scheduling
- Defined advancement path from basic service → intermediate → advanced
- Hands-on training and mentorship from experienced plumbers
- A company culture built on:
- Craftsmanship
- Honesty
- Accountability
- Excellence
We respect technicians who do clean, professional work — and we support them.
How Success Is MeasuredYour performance is measured by quality and customer experience
, including:
- Consistent 5-star customer reviews
- Clean, professional workmanship with minimal callbacks
- Clear communication and accurate issue identification
- Proper escalation to the field supervisor when appropriate
- Clean job sites, organized truck, and professional appearance
- Reliability — on time, prepared, and accountable
Doing the basics extremely well is how you win in this role.
