Does the thought of a cubicle job make you cringe? Not afraid to get your hands dirty? Are you good with people?

If you just said yes to all of the above, you might be our next Build-A-Plumber candidate!

What is Build-A-Plumber? It’s a fun name for a fun plumbing program! Basically, you’ll be training to become a Drain Technician for Morris-Jenkins. You don’t need any plumbing experience, and we’ll even pay you during training (starting at $18\hr through training).

Class begins February 13, 2023

Your Role

• You’ll provide excellent customer service while properly addressing customer concerns.
• You’ll perform light plumbing duties, such as installing a garbage disposal or faucet.
• You’ll clear drains from bathtubs, showers, and/or whole house sewer mains.

You'll Make Money... a Lot of Money

Plumbing is one of the highest paid trades in America! Not only that, but pay for plumbers is more consistent than pay for HVAC technicians, and the room for growth is even better! We have the best plumbers around, and we have the best pay around! Our Drain Techs can expect to make around $56,000 in their first year.

A Job You Can Be Proud Of

Morris-Jenkins is working on changing the view people have on tradesmen, and you could be a part of that! Being a plumber is something you can be proud of.
