About the role
This is a Drain Technician role with our residential/commercial plumbing team, focused on drain and sewer line service from first call to final walkthrough. We’re looking for a drain and sewer specialist who takes ownership of every drain job from diagnosis to completion, is comfortable running a truck independently but knows when to loop in a supervisor, explains processes with confidence and clarity to clients, treats camera inspections, hydro-jetting, and snaking as tools for getting it right — not just checking a box — and wants to grow their skills within a company that invests in training.
Responsibilities
Diagnosis & Service
- Responds to service calls for clogged, slow, or backed-up drains and sewer lines.
- Uses cameras and locators to accurately diagnose root cause (roots, collapse, grease, bellies, etc.).
- Performs snaking, hydro-jetting, and drain clearing using proper equipment for the job.
- Identifies when a repair (vs. a clear) is needed and clearly communicates that to the client.
Client Communication
- Explains findings, options, and pricing in plain language before starting work.
- Provides honest and lasting recommendations — not upselling for the sake of it.
- Leaves the work area clean and the client confident in the work performed.
Documentation & Follow-Through
- Documents diagnostics, camera footage, job notes and proposals accurately in the CRM system.
- Accurately completes invoices, photos, and paperwork same-day.
- Communicates follow-up needs to dispatch or supervisors (parts, permits, callbacks, etc.).
Equipment & Truck Care
- Maintains truck stock, tools, and equipment in good working order.
- Reports equipment issues before they become bigger problems.
- Follows safety protocols on every job site.
Requirements
- Proven experience in drain cleaning, sewer line service, and general plumbing (drain-specific experience preferred).
- Comfortable operating cameras, locators, snakes, and jetters.
- Strong communication skills — able to explain technical issues to non-technical clients.
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record.
- Physically able to perform the work (crawl spaces, lifting equipment, outdoor conditions).
- Dependable, punctual, and takes pride in a job done right the first time.
Qualifications
- Drain and sewer issues are correctly diagnosed and resolved without unnecessary return visits.
- Clients feel informed and confident in the work performed.
- Job documentation and invoicing are complete and accurate same-day.
- Equipment is well-maintained and issues are flagged before they cause downtime.
- Leadership can send you to any job knowing it'll be handled right on the first visit.
Pay
Pay range: $30–$40 per hour, commensurate with experience.
