Plumber Apprentice

About the Role:

At Paul Bunyan Plumbing & Drains, we believe great plumbers aren't born, they're trained.

As a Plumbing Apprentice, you'll learn directly from experienced professionals while gaining hands on experience in residential plumbing and drain services. Every day is different. One day you might be helping install a water heater, the next you could be assisting with a drain repair or helping solve a customer's plumbing emergency.

This isn't a desk job. You'll be lifting, digging, carrying tools, working in crawl spaces, and tackling challenges that require both physical effort and problem solving skills. It's demanding work, but it's also incredibly rewarding. You'll see the impact of your work firsthand and gain skills that can provide a successful career for years to come.

No experience? That's okay. We're looking for people with a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and willingness to learn. We'll teach you the plumbing.

What You'll Do:

• Assist licensed plumbers with installations, repairs, maintenance, and drain cleaning services in residential homes.
• Learn how plumbing and drainage systems operate, including water lines, drains, fixtures, water heaters, sump pumps, and sewer systems.
• Help diagnose plumbing issues and develop troubleshooting skills under the guidance of experienced plumbers.
• Prepare job sites, organize materials, load equipment, and maintain company vehicles.
• Safely operate and maintain hand tools, power tools, and specialized plumbing equipment.
• Follow all plumbing codes, safety standards, and company procedures.
• Read work orders, job notes, and technical information related to plumbing systems.
• Maintain accurate records of work completed, materials used, and hours worked.
