About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Journeyman Plumber to join our team in the Prosper area. This hybrid service and sales role combines hands-on plumbing expertise with consultative selling of water treatment solutions.

You will perform installations, repairs, maintenance, and emergency services while conducting whole-home plumbing inspections and water quality assessments.

A major focus is educating customers on water issues (e.g., hard water impacts on appliances, skin, and plumbing) and closing sales on whole-house filtration, softeners, reverse osmosis systems, and related upgrades—using on-the-spot estimates, water testing demos, and benefit-focused presentations.

Ideal for a skilled, fast-paced plumber who thrives working independently, enjoys building client trust, achieves upsell goals.

Key Responsibilities

• Install, repair, and maintain residential and commercial plumbing systems, including pipes, fixtures, water heaters, drains, valves, and fittings using hand and power tools.

• Perform thorough whole-house plumbing inspections and water quality testing (hardness, chlorine, sediments, etc.) to diagnose issues and recommend tailored solutions.

• Troubleshoot and resolve plumbing problems efficiently to minimize client disruption.

• Educate customers on plumbing and water quality challenges, presenting customized water treatment options with clear benefit explanations.

• Conduct consultative sales: demonstrate value, handle objections ethically, provide accurate on-the-spot estimates/quotes (labor, materials, parts, systems), and close deals on upgrades and add-ons.

• Ensure all work complies with local codes, regulations, and safety standards.

• Deliver outstanding customer service: explain issues transparently, address concerns, and confirm satisfaction.

• Maintain detailed job records (materials, work performed, photos/notes, sales follow-ups) via our mobile app.

• Collaborate with HVAC team members on combined plumbing/HVAC projects as needed.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of proven plumbing experience (residential/commercial service preferred).

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record (no major violations; company-provided take-home truck and fuel card provided).

• Texas Journeyman Plumber license Required.

• Proven ability to work at a fast pace in a high-volume service environment while maintaining quality and safety.

• Strong capability to work independently and autonomously in the field with minimal supervision.

• Professional appearance and demeanor (clean, well-groomed, and presentable for direct client interactions).

• Strong mechanical aptitude, problem-solving abilities, and meticulous attention to detail.

• Proficiency with hand/power tools, blueprint/schematic reading, and diagnostic equipment.

• Solid knowledge of plumbing pricing structures (labor rates, parts costs, system quotes) for fast, accurate on-site estimating.

• Comfort and experience with consultative sales: explaining benefits, overcoming objections, ethical closing, and meeting upsell targets.

• Preferred: Hands-on experience with water testing kits or water treatment products (full training provided if needed).

• Excellent verbal communication skills for client consultations, quote presentations, and team coordination.

• Physical capability to handle job demands (lifting up to 50+ lbs, working in confined spaces, crawling, etc.).

• Bonus: Background in general home maintenance/repairs.

Schedule

• Primarily Monday–Friday, with some evenings, weekends, or holidays for emergency/on-call rotations (fairly distributed and compensated).
