We are hiring a Michigan-licensed Journeyman Plumber to independently diagnose, repair, maintain, and install plumbing systems while delivering an exceptional customer experience. This role is especially well suited to a strong residential service plumber who can also support commercial work, present repair and replacement options clearly, document jobs accurately in ServiceTitan, and take ownership from arrival through payment collection and closeout.

• Own assigned jobs from dispatch through completion, including troubleshooting, quality checks, cleanup, and follow-up communication.
• Use ServiceTitan to manage time, job status, notes, photos, invoices, estimates, recommendations, and return-visit needs.
• Review completed work and charges with customers and collect on-site payment when required.
• Coordinate proactively with dispatch and field leadership regarding scope changes, materials, delays, safety concerns, and follow-up work.
• Maintain an organized company vehicle and care for company tools, materials, and equipment.
• Provide technical guidance, safe-work coaching, and constructive feedback to apprentices when assigned.

Qualifications

• Current Michigan Journeyman Plumber license; license status will be verified through LARA.
• Proven plumbing service, repair, maintenance, and installation experience, with strong residential service capability.
• Strong diagnostic knowledge of plumbing systems, fixtures, piping, drainage, water heaters, and related components.
• Ability to work independently, follow applicable codes and manufacturer requirements, and exercise sound judgment in the field.
• Professional customer-service and communication skills, including the ability to explain recommendations and estimates.
• Comfort using mobile technology; ServiceTitan or similar field-service software experience is preferred.
• Valid driver's license and driving record that meets company insurance requirements. 
• Dependable, punctual, safety-minded, accountable, and willing to learn and adapt.
• Ability to safely lift and carry up to 100 pounds . 

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in both residential and commercial plumbing service.
• Experience diagnosing and presenting repair-versus-replacement options.
• Backflow certification, boiler-related credentials, or other specialty certifications.
• Experience training or mentoring plumbing apprentices.

Pay and Benefits

• Full-time, W-2 employment
• Competitive pay of $36 - $45 per hour , negotiable based on experience, licensing, and certifications
• Additional certifications may qualify employees for higher compensation
• Overtime opportunities
• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
