Service Plumber — Grow Into Your Own Van

Service Plumber — Grow Into Your Own Van | Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Eastern Essex (Nutley, NJ)

Tired of being just another hand on someone else's crew with no clear path forward? We're hiring a service plumber who wants more — and we're going to give you a runway to get there.

You'll start as the right hand to our Lead Plumber, running calls together in our first van. You'll learn how we run the business — our customer experience, our pricing, our equipment, our process — backed by Mr. Rooter / Neighborly's national systems and training. When you're ready, you take the keys to our second van and become the lead on your own route.

The path is real. Our growth plan calls for a second van within the first year of operation. We're not dangling a vague promise — we're hiring you with that next step in mind.

Day-one work: Two-person calls and solo calls on residential and light commercial service — drain cleaning, sewer repair and replacement, water heaters, and general service plumbing across Essex County. You'll learn our systems, our customers, and our standards alongside the Lead.

Future-state work (Van #2): Run your own route. Be the face of Mr. Rooter to your customers - and earn more pay to take home.

What makes this different:

• Guaranteed base salary from day one — you're not waiting on call volume to get paid.
• Profit sharing — when the business wins, you win.
• Commission opportunities when you move to Van #2 — your own route, your own performance, your own upside.
• Real mentorship — you learn under an experienced lead, not by watching YouTube on lunch breaks.
• National brand behind you — Mr. Rooter / Neighborly training, systems, and name recognition.

Who we're looking for: Plumbing experience is what we care about most — at any stage of your career. NJ Journeyman license is ideal, Master is welcome, apprentices working toward licensure are encouraged to apply, and experienced plumbers without a current license should still apply and tell us your story. Hungry to grow, not afraid of hard work, and ready to learn how a business runs from the inside. Valid driver's license with an insurable record. Comfort with tablet-based invoicing and dispatch. Pride in clean, careful, customer-respecting work. Our motto: Not the cheapest. The best.

Pay: $55,000–$95,000+ depending on license and experience, plus profit sharing. Commissions available when you move to Van #2.

If you're ready to grow into your own van — apply, and let's talk.
