Job description
Join Our Team as a Journeyman Plumber
Ready to operate as a true journeyman plumber, taking full ownership of complex commercial plumbing work while guiding others? At Modigent companies, we deliver code-compliant, high-performance plumbing systems for commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, industrial facilities, and more—ensuring safe water supply, efficient drainage, reliable gas lines, and flawless fixture performance. We're seeking skilled, independent Plumber IIIs to handle advanced installations and repairs, mentor junior team members, and contribute to successful projects from start to finish.
Why Join Us?
- Commitment to Excellence — Safety, precision, and adherence to codes are non-negotiable—we build systems that are durable, leak-free, and built to exceed expectations.
- Customer-Focused Culture — Proactive planning, clear communication, thorough testing, and continuous improvement keep projects on schedule and clients satisfied.
- Leadership amp; Growth — Work independently while developing leadership skills through mentoring; access advanced training and clear pathways to senior/supervisory roles.
- Great Perks — Competitive pay and benefits, collaborative team environment, professional development opportunities, and a real commitment to work-life balance.
What You'll Do as a Journeyman Plumber:
As a journeyman-level Plumber III, you'll perform complex, independent work on commercial plumbing systems (potable water, sanitary drainage, storm, gas piping, backflow prevention, fixtures, and equipment) while beginning to mentor lower-level plumbers. Key responsibilities include:
- Independently planning, laying out, installing, repairing, and maintaining plumbing piping systems, fixtures, valves, pumps, water heaters, and related equipment in commercial and industrial settings.
- Troubleshooting and diagnosing issues in plumbing systems, performing pressure testing, leak detection, drain cleaning/unclogging, backflow testing, and system balancing to ensure optimal function and safety.
- Reading and interpreting blueprints, specifications, schematics, and work orders to execute accurate, code-compliant installations, modifications, and repairs.
- Assembling and installing piping materials (copper, PVC, CPVC, PEX, cast iron, etc.), fittings, supports, and fixtures to precise standards.
- Collaborating with other trades, coordinating site activities, and contributing to efficient project sequencing and problem resolution.
- Mentoring and guiding Plumber I and II team members—demonstrating techniques, sharing best practices, and helping build skills on the job.
- Maintaining accurate documentation, as-builts, daily logs, safety records, and ensuring site cleanliness and organization.
What We're Looking For:
- Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in commercial/industrial plumbing installation, repair, and maintenance.
- Mastery of plumbing systems, materials, local/national codes (IPC/UPC), and advanced installation techniques.
- Proven ability to work independently with minimal supervision while delivering high-quality, safe, and efficient results.
- Leadership mindset—eager to mentor juniors, share knowledge, and support crew success.
- Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
- Physical capability for demanding work: lift up to 50 lbs, frequent bending/lifting, standing/walking on uneven terrain or in confined spaces, and safely climbing ladders/scaffolding.
- Relevant certifications (e.g., journeyman plumber license, backflow prevention certification, OSHA safety training) or equivalent mastery strongly preferred—we prioritize demonstrated expertise.
If you're a journeyman plumber who thrives on technical challenges, takes pride in flawless installations, and enjoys passing on your expertise to help the team grow, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact. Apply today and bring your mastery to Modigent!
Modigent companies are equal opportunity employers. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
