Do you love solving puzzles and getting your hands dirty?

Want to join a team that treats you like family?

Ready to make a splash in the plumbing world?

At Drain Works, we're more than just excavators - we're problem solvers on a mission to keep your pipes flowing smoothly. Our team helps homeowners and businesses solve urgent plumbing, sewer, and septic issues that affect health, safety, and everyday comfort. When a septic system backs up, a sewer line fails, or a plumbing issue threatens a property, our work makes an immediate difference.

Join our team and be a part of something great while building hands-on skills in a trade that keeps communities running.

As a Septic Technician, you'll be working in a role that combines technical skill, physical work, customer interaction, and real-time problem-solving. One day might involve helping diagnose why a residential septic system is not draining properly; the next could mean supporting a repair that prevents sewage from backing up into a home or business. This is work you can see, touch, and take pride in at the end of the day, because the results matter to the people we serve.

We believe strong teams are built on trust, respect, and a willingness to help each other out. At Drain Works, you'll work alongside people who value professionalism, pitch in when the job gets tough, and understand that every crew member plays an important role in getting the job done safely and correctly. If you want a workplace where your effort is noticed, your skills can grow, and your work has purpose, you'll fit right in here.

• Provide top-notch plumbing, sewer, and septic services to our customers, helping diagnose problems, perform repairs, and support solutions that restore systems quickly and correctly. This could include assisting with inspections, identifying blockages or system failures, supporting excavation work, handling repairs, and making sure systems are functioning as intended before the job is complete. Your work will directly impact customer safety, property protection, and peace of mind, especially in situations where delays can lead to costly damage or unhealthy conditions.
• Work with a team that values integrity and professionalism, where clear communication, dependable follow-through, and respect for customers and coworkers matter on every job. In the field, that means coordinating with your crew, staying aligned on the repair plan, updating customers when appropriate, and helping keep jobs moving efficiently from arrival to cleanup. You'll be part of a crew that works together to solve challenging field problems efficiently, because septic, sewer, and plumbing issues often require fast thinking and strong teamwork.
• Ensure safety standards are met at all times, including following jobsite procedures, using equipment responsibly, and staying alert in excavation, plumbing, and septic environments. This is critical to protecting you, your teammates, and the customer's property. Whether you're working around trenches, heavy equipment, wastewater systems, tools, or uneven outdoor terrain, attention to safety helps prevent injuries, avoid property damage, and ensure every job is completed responsibly.
• Grow and learn with us through continuous education opportunities, giving you the chance to sharpen technical skills, build confidence in the field, and expand your career path within the plumbing, sewer, and septic industry. You'll gain exposure to real-world service scenarios, learn how experienced technicians approach diagnosis and repair, and build practical knowledge that can lead to greater responsibility over time.
  
  This is an opportunity to develop a long-term trade skillset in an essential industry that is always needed.
• Deliver exceptional customer service with a smile by showing up on time, explaining work clearly, and leaving customers feeling informed and cared for. Many of our customers call us during stressful, messy, or urgent situations, so professionalism and communication matter just as much as technical ability. Great service helps build trust, repeat business, and a strong reputation for the whole team, and it turns a difficult day for the customer into an experience where they feel supported and confident in the work being done.
