Plumber

Location: Princeton, NJ | Full-Time

About the Role

This is a hands-on residential plumbing role where your skill, judgment, and professionalism matter. You arrive on-site—a leak, a failure, or a system issue—and the homeowner is counting on you. You diagnose the problem using proper tools and testing methods, identify the root cause—not just the symptom—and repair or replace components to code and standard. You don’t just fix the issue—you walk the customer through what’s happening, explain the solution clearly, and help them move forward with confidence. You’ll also price jobs using a flat-rate system and collect payment, document all work, materials, and findings accurately, and stay connected with dispatch and your team. Bottom line: Solve the problem, deliver quality work, and earn the customer’s trust.
