Lead Plumbing Installer

Make $80,000 to over $120,000 as a Lead Plumber Installer at Morris-Jenkins. Our plumbers are champions, and we like to celebrate that.

About the role

You have 3+ years of plumbing experience. You love learning new things. Even though you’ve been a plumber for a while, you’re always open to new ways of doing things. You value quality over quantity. You believe it’s better to take the time needed to do a great job, rather than rush through something and sacrifice quality. You enjoy coaching and helping others. As a Lead Plumbing Installer, you’ll help coach Plumbing Install Assistants as they learn the trade. You’re the best to learn from! You’re good at keeping a level head. Plumbing install jobs can be a bit scary to customers—after all, you’re making some pretty big changes to their home. You’re good at making them feel better about the process, and you can think on your feet when an installation proves to be a bit tricky.

Responsibilities

• Partner with the plumbing service department to take care of customer concerns. After a service plumber diagnoses the issue and works with the customer on a solution, you come in and make it happen!
