The Role

We’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.

Technical Scope — What You Need to Know

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
.

What the Job Actually Looks Like
  • 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
Why Join Criterion Plumbers
  • 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 Measured

Your 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.

Who This Role Is Best For
  • Apprentices ready to confidently run service calls
  • Junior techs who want clear expectations and strong support
  • Plumbers who enjoy customer interaction without sales pressure
  • Techs who take pride in clean work and professionalism
  • Individuals who want to grow — without being thrown in over their head

Location: Idaho Falls,

Start: Immediate opening available
