We are looking for an experienced Sewer & Drain Technician to join our growing team, with the opportunity to advance into a Lining Technician role. This position focuses on residential sewer and drain work, including diagnosing issues, clearing lines, and working directly with homeowners to provide effective solutions.

• Explain findings and recommend repair or replacement solutions to homeowners
• Maintain equipment and ensure work is completed safely and efficiently
• Provide professional, high-quality customer service in every home
• Support opportunities to upsell repairs, replacements, or lining solutions when appropriate
• Train and grow into a Sewer Lining Technician role (if not already experienced)
Requirements
• 1+ years of hands-on experience in residential sewer and drain work
• Strong experience working with residential sewer lines, drain systems, and cleanouts
• Ability to diagnose and clear sewer/drain blockages independently
• Lining experience is a plus, but not required — we will train the right candidate
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
• Strong communication and customer service skills
• Reliable, hardworking, and motivated to grow within the company
