You’ll work alongside experienced technicians while starting to take ownership of service calls and building the skills needed to become a top-level plumber.

• Strong mechanical aptitude, maths skills, and problem-solving ability
• Willingness to learn and take direction while growing independence
• Professional attitude and customer service mindset
• Must be 18 or older
• Valid driver’s license with acceptable driving record

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience in service and repair work (not just new construction)
• Ability to begin diagnosing common plumbing issues independently
• Strong communication skills with customers and team members
• Desire to grow into a lead technician or journeyman role

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift and carry up to 60 lbs
• Comfortable working in confined spaces and varying conditions
• Ability to bend, kneel, climb, and stand for extended periods
• Work indoors and outdoors in seasonal environments

Why Join Esser Plumbing and Heating?
