Underground Utility Installer

Location: Lexington SC (US)

Description

Underground Plumbing & Slab Crew Member

Plumbing Solutions is expanding our residential slab and underground sewer crew, and we’re looking for dependable, mechanically minded people who want to build a long-term career in the plumbing trade.

If you have experience with underground pipe, excavation, site utilities, trenching, or operating a mini excavator, we want to talk to you.

Plumbing experience is preferred, but not required. If you already understand underground construction and are willing to learn, we can teach you the plumbing side of the trade.

Your Experience May Include:

• Water and sewer utilities
• Septic installation
• Sitework and grading
• Storm drainage
• Irrigation
• Excavation and trenching
• Underground electrical
• Residential construction
• Mini excavator or other equipment operation

What You’ll Learn

As part of our underground plumbing team, you’ll receive hands-on training in:

• Building sewer installation
• Underground DWV systems
• Residential slab plumbing
• PVC piping and fittings
• Proper grade, slope, and fall
• Cleanout installation
• Sleeves and penetrations
• Trenching, excavation, and backfill
• Reading and understanding residential plumbing plans
• Proper installation practices and jobsite standards

What We’re Looking For

We can teach plumbing skills. What we can’t teach is a strong work ethic and commitment to doing the job right.

The ideal candidate is:

• Dependable and consistently on time
• Mechanically inclined
• Comfortable working outdoors and in construction environments
• Experienced with excavation, equipment, or underground work
• Willing and able to learn a skilled trade
• Detail-oriented and committed to quality workmanship
• Able to follow instructions, plans, and established installation standards
• A team player who takes pride in their work
• Looking for a career in the skilled trades, not simply a job operating equipment

This is an opportunity to take the experience you already have in underground construction, utilities, excavation, or residential construction and develop it into a specialized plumbing skill set.

We are looking for people who want to become highly skilled underground plumbing professionals and grow with the company.

Requirements

Experience: 2–5 years of hands-on experience in residential plumbing installation, preferably in new construction environments.
