The Quality & Integrity You Expect
We hire slower than we could and train longer than we have to, because the standard we hold on your gas line is the same one we hold hiring for it.
Most of the crew came up through this company, not into it. Sofia Nguyen started as an apprentice three years ago; she is on track for her journeyman hours next year. We would rather grow a plumber than poach one, and we would rather tell you exactly what the job pays than make you ask.
If you already have your license, we want to talk to you. If you don't yet but you're willing to put in the hours, we run a real apprenticeship: paid, supervised, and structured around actual jobs instead of a classroom that never touches a wrench.
Three things that are true on day one, not just in the job posting.
Routes are built around the county you're based in, not a dispatch board that sends you across the region every day. Most of the crew lives within thirty miles of their own route, and we plan schedules that way on purpose.
Sacramento's hard water changes how tankless units, fixtures, and supply lines actually fail here, and most training programs never mention it. Every technician re-certifies on venting and descaling for our water every year, on the clock.
There's no commission on upsells here. You get paid for the work you do and the hours you put in, not for talking someone into a bigger job than their house needs.
We publish the pay range here for the same reason we publish our price ranges: you should know what you're looking at before you apply.
Licensed and experienced. You'll run your own route across Sacramento, Placer, or El Dorado county, diagnose before you quote, and mentor an apprentice on jobs where it makes sense.
