Water System Service Technician / Plumbing Trainee

Mr. Rooter Plumbing turns "no industry experience" into a noble, long-term career

Performance pay with full benefits. $80,000 a year and up is a reasonable expectation. See more at the bottom of the listing.

Would you prefer a career where you go home each night knowing that your work restored another person’s quality of life?

If we asked your old coach to describe you would they say, “most hustle on the team?” Would you like to be paid for that work ethic and the measurable results that you control instead of your number of years on the job or who you know?

Are you a courteous professional who would relish partnering with your colleagues in the office and in the field to add another customer comment like this to the team’s collection of 3,000 five-star reviews?

Mr. Jim & Mr. Cody were very prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable. They were patient and listened to my needs. They inspected the problem and then went on to solve my problem. They also offered suggestions as to solve issues that are causing this problem. They were very neat and kind with their time. I was very impressed and comfortable having them in my home. (Google Review)
