Pool Maintenance Technician

At ASP, we create superior value for our customers in all that we do by leveraging technology, higher standards, knowledge and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Because of our approach, we have earned loyal customers who expect and desire dependable, quality swimming pool solutions. We guarantee satisfaction with our services and do not require long-term contracts. We are fully licensed and insured and our team members are among the best in the swimming pool service industry. We continue to grow and are seeking a solution-oriented and customer-focused Pool Maintenance Technician to join our team. This position is responsible to provide excellent on-site pool cleaning and pool maintenance services to each and every customer they are assigned. This includes following our proven pool cleaning methods, handling pool chemicals in a controlled and safe manner, following all established protocols and sharing lessons learned with the rest of our team. The ideal person for this position will love to work outdoors. They will be a self-starter who has the ability to work independently with minimal oversight and guidance. They will handle all matters with integrity and embrace the concept and requirements of delivering "resort-quality service".

Success in this position will be determined by the following measurable results:

  • Manage a swimming pool route that includes the cleaning of swimming pools each week.
  • The ability to manage a stocking of chemicals on the truck and properly adjust the water chemistry for each pool each week.
  • The ability to utilize a smart phone for our Pool Brain mobile platform.
  • The ability to spot equipment repair needs and communicate those needs to the office.

  • Acting with Integrity;
  • Superior Knowledge;
  • Passion for the Company;
  • Customer Focus;
  • Accountability and Discipline;
  • Respecting Others;
  • Excellence in ALL we do; and
  • Safety First at all Times.

Requirements for this position are that you have: (1) a valid driver's license with a clean driving record; and (2) the ability to lift up to 100 lbs. No other specific experience is required as we will teach you the ASP methods designed to give our customers a great looking pool and to maximize your earning potential; however, a high school degree and Certified Pool Operator License is preferred.

This position has the potential of earning a bonus by the company when specific gross revenue or productivity goals are met.

A company truck will be provided which you keep fully stocked with tools and chemicals. You will receive paid personal time following a qualifying period. Compensation: $18.00 - $23.00 per hour
