Full Job Description
Lead Plumber - Help Build a Business, Not Just Run Calls | Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Eastern Essex (Nutley, NJ)

We9re a brand-new Mr. Rooter franchise launching this August in Nutley, serving Essex County, and we9re hiring our first plumber. Not a warm body for a van - the technical leader of this company. The owner brings 20+ years of business, government, and marketing experience and handles the phones, the advertising, and the back office. You bring the trade. Together we build something.

What makes this different:
  • Guaranteed base salary - you9re not gambling on a startup9s call volume. You get paid from day one, every week, while we grow.
  • Profit sharing - when the business wins, you win. You9ll see how the company performs and share in it.
  • A real voice - you9ll help choose our equipment, set our quality standards, design our service workflows, and interview every tech we hire after you.
  • National brand behind you - Mr. Rooter/Neighborly training, systems, and name recognition, without the franchise fee coming out of your pocket.

The work: Residential and light commercial service - drain cleaning, sewer line repair and replacement, water heaters, and general service plumbing across Essex County.

Who we9re looking for: A NJ Master Plumber is ideal, but we9ll absolutely talk to experienced journeymen and seasoned service plumbers - tell us where you are and where you want to go. You9ll need a valid driver9s license with an insurable record, comfort using a tablet for invoicing, and pride in doing the job right. Our motto: Not the cheapest. The best.

Pay: $75,000-$120,000+ depending on license and experience, plus profit sharing.

If you9ve got the skills of an owner but never had the opening - this is it. Apply and let9s talk.
