Are you the plumber other installers come to when a job gets complicated? At Edelman, we're not just running plumbing calls — we're building a team of craftsmen who own their work start to finish. We're looking for a Master Plumber to lead our most complex residential installations, mentor the next generation of installers, and run a job site the way it should be run: on budget, on code, and done right.

  Comfortable lifting up to 300 lbs, working in tight spaces like attics and crawl spaces, and working in the field through heat, cold, and everything in between.

• Bonus Points:
  
  Commercial plumbing experience, blueprint/civil print reading, and experience running crews.

• Compensation: $25–$45/hour, commensurate with experience, with room to grow your rate as you take on more responsibility — running jobs unsupervised, exceeding labor budgets, and leading commercial projects.
