Ideal Candidate

• 5+ years experience in light commercial and tenant improvements
• Solution Oriented: Finds clever ways to overcome job site challenges
• Autonomous: Works efficiently without constant supervision

• Adaptable: Unfazed by scheduling shifts, material delays, or changing project scopes.
• Entrepreneurial: Thinks like a business owner, tracking project efficiency and material waste.

"Who You Are"

"You are a licensed commercial plumber who is tired of being just another number at a larger plumbing firm. You enjoy the rush of a fast-moving project and look at a hectic job site as an opportunity to prove your leadership. You don’t need a foreman to layout your day; you can look at a set of prints, spot the conflicts early, and organize your truck and materials to get the job done right the first time. You are looking for a place where your hard work translates directly into rapid career advancement."

"The Environment"

"This is an early-stage environment. It is fast, fluid, and occasionally hectic. We are actively building our work pipelines and standardizing our operations. If you require a predictable, hyper-structured 9-to-5 where every tool and part is pre-packaged for you, this is not the right fit. However, if you love the autonomy of managing your own space, solving unexpected field problems on the fly, and helping build a department from scratch, you will thrive here."

"Core Responsibilities"

• Own the Field: Independently manage layout, rough-in, and top-out phases for commercial installations.
• Solve the Complex: Troubleshoot architectural and engineering plan discrepancies directly with project stakeholders.
• Standardize Operations: Provide input to developing processes, organize company service vehicles, and test new products to optimize field efficiency.
• Mentor Future Hires: Act as the technical anchor on site, preparing to train and lead new employees as our headcount grows.
