LEAD EXCAVATION TECHNICIAN – SEWER & SEPTIC

Metro Plumbing, Heating & Air – Chattanooga, TN
$25–$35/hour Based on Experience + Full Benefits

Know How to Run an Excavator and Run a Job?

If you've spent years in the seat, know how to move dirt the right way, and can lead a crew without someone standing over your shoulder, this may be the job for you.

Metro Plumbing, Heating & Air is hiring an experienced Lead Excavation Technician for our Sewer & Septic Division.

We're looking for someone with 3–5 years of real excavation experience who can operate an excavator, read the job, make good decisions in the field, and keep a crew moving.

This isn't a helper position, and it isn't a job for someone still learning the basics.

We need someone who can show up, look at the job, understand what needs to happen, get in the machine, and get it done.

What You'll Be Doing

Running an excavator on sewer and septic jobs
Digging for sewer line installs, repairs, and replacements
Excavating for septic system installs and repairs
Leading a small excavation crew on the jobsite
Making sure the job is laid out and dug correctly
Working around utilities and existing structures
Handling trenching, grading, back filling, and cleanup
Coordinating with plumbers, inspectors, and other team members
Keeping the crew productive and the job moving
Taking care of the equipment and reporting maintenance issues
Making sure the work is done safely and done right

What We're Looking For

3–5 years of excavation experience
Strong excavator operating skills
Sewer, septic, or underground utility experience
Experience leading a crew or running jobs
Comfortable making decisions in the field
Knowledge of trenching, grading, utilities, and excavation safety
Dependable and able to work without constant supervision
Someone who takes pride in their work and doesn't cut corners
CDL Class A is a plus
Must pass background check and drug screening

What You Get

$25–$35/hour based on experience
Full-time, year-round work
No seasonal layoffs
Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid holidays and PTO
Good equipment and quality tools
Steady work with a growing company
Opportunity to move up as the Sewer & Septic Division grows

Tired of Being the Guy Doing the Work While Someone Else Gets to Run the Job?

If you know how to operate an excavator, understand sewer and septic work, and you're ready to be the one leading the crew instead of just following orders, we want to hear from you.

We're looking for someone who knows the trade, works hard, and takes pride in leaving behind a job that was done right.
