Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills distinguish top candidates in this field. These skills are crucial for accurately assessing sewer conditions, ensuring regulatory compliance, and collaborating with municipal teams for community safety.

This is a commission-focused sales role built for driven professionals who want uncapped income potential while working for a company that values integrity, teamwork, and long-term success.
At S&J Plumbing, we believe happy employees create happy customers, and we provide the support, training, and leadership needed to help our sales team succeed.

  • Strong customer communication and closing skills
  • Self-motivated and performance-driven
  • Ability to build rapport and earn customer trust quickly
  • Organized, professional, and team-oriented
  • Valid driver's license with clean driving record
  • Ability to pass a background check and drug screening
  • Military experience welcomed and encouraged
