Journeyman Plumber
We are looking for a licensed Journeyman Plumber to work on residential and commercial job sites throughout the Tri-Cities region. You will be expected to lead your work, manage a helper when needed, and get the job done right the first time. This is not a management position — it is a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground plumbing role for someone who still loves the work.
Job Duties
• Install, repair, and maintain plumbing systems on residential and commercial job sites
• Rough-in and finish plumbing for new construction, additions, and remodel projects
• Run supply and drain lines, set fixtures, hang water heaters, and make final connections
• Read and work from blueprints, isometrics, and job specs without needing hand-holding
• Troubleshoot plumbing issues and make solid decisions on the fly
• Direct helpers and apprentices on the job site when assigned
• Coordinate with general contractors, project managers, and other trades as needed
• Keep the job site safe, clean, and up to code at all times
• Inspect your own work before sign-off — do it right, not just done
Requirements
• Valid Journeyman Plumber license — Tennessee or Virginia, state-issued
• 5+ years of hands-on plumbing experience in residential and/or commercial work
• Ability to read blueprints and work independently without constant supervision
• Proficient with plumbing tools, pipe threading equipment, and testing procedures
• Working knowledge of local plumbing codes and inspection requirements
• Able to lead a helper or small crew when the job calls for it
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to job sites
• Physically able to lift up to 50 lbs and work in crawl spaces, attics, and tight areas
• OSHA 10 certification preferred — or willingness to obtain
General Requirements
• Reliable transportation to job sites throughout the Tri-Cities area
• Punctual and dependable — crews count on you being there
• Must pass a background check
• Professional, safety-conscious attitude on every job site
Schedule
• Full-time, Monday through Friday
• Early morning start times — must be available as early as 6:00–7:00 AM
• Overtime and Saturday availability may be required depending on job site needs
Pay
• Competitive hourly pay — based on your experience and license level
• The more you bring to the table, the more you earn
• Weekly pay
• Workers' comp coverage provided
• Benefits package available — details provided at interview
• Opportunity for ongoing, steady work as long as you show up and perform
