Plumbing Inspection Trainee, Paid Program

Job Description

Job Description

ASI is a well-established, home services company looking for our next class of Plumbing Safety Inspection Trainees. This is a paid, hands-on training program built for people who are good with people, not necessarily people who already know plumbing. If you've got a knack for earning someone's trust, explaining things clearly, and consultative sales, we'll teach you the technical side from the ground up.

Paid training class starts August 31st 2026

What we're looking for:

This role is built around soft skills first, technical skills second. We're looking for people who:

• Communicate clearly and listen well. You ask good questions, you explain things in plain language, and you don't talk over people.
• Build trust fast. Homeowners are letting you into their house and trusting your judgment about their plumbing — you need to come across as honest and credible, not salesy.
• Are coachable. You don't already know everything (nobody expects you to), and you're genuinely excited to learn a real trade with long-term earning potential.
• Have some sales, customer service, or people-facing work history. Retail, restaurants, call centers, account management — if you've had to read a room and close a deal or smooth out a tough conversation, that experience translates here.
• Are comfortable being paid on performance. This role is hourly plus commission-based once you're fully trained, so we're looking for people who are motivated by what they can earn, not just a flat hourly check.
• Can handle a flexible, full schedule. Shifts can start as early as 6-7am, days run on appointment volume
• Valid CA driver's license

No plumbing license, certification, or prior plumbing experience required to apply.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plumbing inspections and consultation: Conduct general plumbing & water quality inspections to determine maintenance, repair, and replacement needs in residential settings to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal codes.
• Customer Service: Provide a 5-star level of service to our customers; providing options of products and services.
• General maintenance: Learn to diagnose and resolve plumbing issues, such as drain cleaning, repairing leaks, water heater repair and replacement, and other preventative maintenance.
• Safety and compliance: Adhere to all safety standards and regulations, ensuring a safe working environment. Identify potential safety hazards and recommend corrective actions to mitigate risks.
• Documentation: Assist in maintaining accurate records of services performed and parts used. Document inspection findings and prepare detailed reports for management and regulatory agencies to review.
• Training: Participate in on-the-job training and attend workshops to develop plumbing skills and knowledge. Continuously educate and train to stay updated with the latest plumbing codes, regulations, and best practices.

Why join the training program

• Paid to learn. You earn while you train — this isn't an unpaid apprenticeship.
• Real, structured training. You'll build technical plumbing skill systematically, not by being thrown into the field and figuring it out.
• Strong earning ceiling. Once trained, techs typically earn $60K-$80K in total on-target earnings
• A real career path. We're growing, and motivated trainees move into senior tech, install, and leadership roles over time.

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 1+ years of customer service and/or sales experience. Experience with in-home, consultative sales is a plus.
• Physical ability to perform tasks that involve lifting, climbing, and working in confined spaces.
• Current and valid driver's license in the state in which you will be working.

Why Join ASI?

• Ongoing training opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
• Hourly Pay + Unlimited Commission Earning Potential.
• Company vehicle and tools provided.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off, holidays, and sick leave.
• A supportive, inclusive, and dynamic work environment focusing on teamwork, recognition and employee satisfaction.
