Plumb Boss is on the hunt for experienced service plumbers to join our reliable, hard-working (and sometimes hilarious) crew. We deliver top-notch plumbing and gas fitting services to homes, businesses, and restaurants across Edmonton — but that’s not all.

We’ve carved out a unique niche working with some of the city’s most interesting clients, including government facilities, pubs, dental offices, fire stations, and more. If it has pipes, chances are we’ve fixed them.

What You’ll Be Doing:

You won’t be stuck doing the same thing every day. We handle a wide variety of service work, including:
• Fixture repairs and replacements (toilets, sinks, showers, etc.)
• Water and drain line repairs
• Water heater, boiler, and furnace repairs, replacements, and maintenance
• Troubleshooting leaks, drainage issues, faucets, flush valves
• Sewer backups, sewer repairs, and replacements (some of the stinky stuff)

What We’re Looking For:
• Solid customer service and communication skills
• Valid driver’s license with a clean abstract
• Ability to troubleshoot HWTs, furnaces, boilers, pumps, and mystery leaks
• Experience with Ridgid power augers is a big plus
• High attention to detail and a strong work ethic
• Can work independently and keep cool in emergency situations
• Fluent in English ( and sarcasm)

What You’ll Get:
• Competitive wages with room to grow based on your skills and performance
• Overtime and double time opportunities (yes, you’ll get paid for that late-night emergency call)
• Excellent benefits package
• Company van and company clothing from day one
• Company phone (after you’re settled in)
• A supportive team of professionals who know their stuff and actually enjoy working together

If you're ready to bring your skills to a company that values quality work, team support, and a bit of personality — apply now and join the Plumb Boss crew.

Time to be the boss of your own plumbing game.
