Job Description

Job Description

Put your drain cleaning skills to work with a company that has earned the trust of Chicago-area residents since 1979. Intelligent Service Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning is looking for a full-time Rodding and Hydro Jetting Drain Technician to serve customers throughout the northern Chicago suburbs.

This opportunity offers earning potential of $50,000 - $100,000 per year based on experience and performance. We also offer our team great benefits , such as:

  • 100% employer-paid health insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Profit-sharing
  • A 401(k)
  • Paid vacations
  • Paid birthdays off
  • Overtime
  • Advancement opportunities

THE TYPE OF CANDIDATE WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Schedule: This is a full-time, Monday-Friday position with steady hours and a steady paycheck. You'll enjoy year-round work and the benefit of having your weekends free.

Rodding and Hydro Jetting Drain Technician Requirements:

  • 1+ year(s) of drain rodding experience in residential or commercial environments
  • Valid driver's license
  • Ability to identify backed-up drain and sewer lines and select the appropriate equipment for the job
  • Experience operating rodding equipment
  • Ability to schedule follow-up camera inspection appointments for the Lead Technician
  • Commitment to leaving each property cleaner than you found it
  • Willingness to learn and develop additional skills

Preferred:

  • Drain installation or excavation experience (backhoe/skid steer)
  • Familiarity with Service Titan or similar dispatch software

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY AS A RODDING AND HYDRO JETTING DRAIN TECHNICIAN

As a Rodding and Hydro Jetting Drain Technician, you will receive dispatched service calls and travel to homes and businesses throughout the northern Chicago suburbs. You will identify where a drain or sewer line is backed up, select the appropriate machine and cable for the job, clear the blockage, and test the line to ensure it is flowing properly. Your work will include clearing everything from sink and tub lines to main sewer lines using rodding equipment, along with operating a hydro jetter to remove grease, roots, and scale. Once the line is flowing again, you will schedule a follow-up appointment for the Lead Technician to perform a camera inspection and determine the cause of the backup. You will earn a bonus for every camera inspection lead you set, allowing you to increase your earnings without camera work or sales pressure. Some days you will clear several routine drain lines, while other days you will focus on a single challenging main sewer blockage, but every day you will play an important role in restoring service for customers and leaving their property cleaner than you found it.
