Job Description
Drain Technician - Rodding & Hydro Jetting Intelligent Service Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning - Mount Prospect, IL $50,000-$100,000 per year (based on experience and performance) + lead-set bonuses
The Job
We're looking for a drain technician who knows how to clear a line. You'll run service calls across the northern Chicago suburbs clearing blockages with rodding machines - everything from sink and tub lines to main sewer lines - and running our hydro jetter to clean out grease, roots, and scale.
A typical day looks like this: you get your dispatched calls, head to the customer's home or business, figure out where the line is backed up, pick the right machine and cable for the job, clear it, and test it. Once the line is flowing, you set the customer up with a follow-up appointment for our Lead Technician to camera the line and find out what caused the backup - and you earn a bonus for every lead you set . You clear it, they diagnose it, you get paid for the handoff. No camera work or sales pressure on your plate; your job is getting the water moving and leaving the place cleaner than you found it.
Some days it's six quick kitchen lines. Some days it's one stubborn main. Either way, you're the one who gets their water flowing again - and customers remember that.
Schedule
Full-time, Monday-Friday. Steady hours, steady paycheck.
What You Need
- 1+ year of experience rodding drains (residential or commercial)
- Valid driver's license
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Hydro jetting experience
- Drain installation or excavation experience (backhoe/skid steer)
- Familiarity with ServiceTitan or similar dispatch software
If you've got the rodding experience, we can train you on the rest.
What You Get
- Pay between $50,000-$100,000 - your experience sets your starting pay, your performance raises it
- Bonus paid on every camera inspection lead you set
- Company truck included
- Health benefits
- IRA retirement plan
- Profit sharing
- Your birthday off, paid
- Monday-Friday schedule - your weekends are yours
- Steady, year-round work - drains don't take a season off
- A shop that's been serving Chicago since 1979, with a full plumbing and HVAC team behind you
