Job Description
Company Overview
17 Plumbing is one of the fastest-growing emergency plumbing companies in Oakville and the GTA. We specialize in same-day response for sewer backups, clogged drains, leak repairs, and after-hours emergencies. If you want to actually do plumbing work — solve real problems, drive a stocked truck, get paid well to be good at your trade — keep reading.
What You'll Do
• Respond to emergency plumbing calls: toilet overflows, drain clogs, sewer backups, leak repairs
• Diagnose issues on-site and walk customers through clear, honest solutions
• Perform drain cleaning, snaking, and general plumbing repairs
• Stay calm and professional in high-stress situations — homeowners are panicked, you're the help that shows up
• Keep your assigned company truck clean, stocked, and ready to roll
Shift Structure — Please Read Carefully Before Applying
This role is built around emergency response, not a fixed 9-to-5. During your scheduled Mon–Sat shift, you must:
• Be fully available and reachable
• Respond to dispatch within 2–5 minutes
• Be ready to leave for the job site immediately
• Not be working another job during scheduled hours
This is not a flexible, partial-availability, or side-gig role. If you have other commitments that make rapid response difficult, this won't be a fit — and that's okay, but please don't apply.
Pay & Benefits
• $38–$40/hr based on experience
• Saturday rate: 1.5x base
• Health insurance
• Company truck — fully equipped, fully maintained
• Gas covered (zero vehicle expenses out of pocket)
• Steady emergency call volume — top performers consistently get strong hours
Note: This is on-call work. Total weekly hours depend on incoming call volume. Slow shifts may mean fewer paid hours.
Requirements
• 2+ years of plumbing experience (residential, commercial, or emergency service)
• Working knowledge of drain systems, drain cleaning, and emergency repairs
• Valid Ontario driver's license — clean abstract strongly preferred
• Reliable, responsive, and trustworthy with company tools and customer property
• Comfortable handling urgent, high-pressure customer situations professionally
How to Apply
Email your resume and a brief note on your availability to [email protected].
We respond fast. Serious candidates only — please confirm you can meet the availability expectations in your application.
Pay: $35.00-$40.00 per hour

Service Canada requires a valid Social Insurance Number, Red Seal certificate or provincial licence, and a completed Job Bank profile with proof of Canadian work experience or apprenticeship records.
