Underground Leak Detection Specialist (Commercial Plumbing)

About Us
WaterWise Plumbing Services specializes in commercial plumbing, water conservation, and leak detection solutions for hotels, multifamily communities, and mobile home parks (MHPs). As our company continues to grow, we are expanding our underground leak detection division and are looking for an experienced professional who can accurately locate underground water leaks and coordinate or perform the necessary repairs.
This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for someone who can confidently arrive at a commercial property, assess the situation, identify the source of a hidden underground leak, and determine the best repair solution with minimal disruption to the customer.
Responsibilities
- Locate underground water leaks on commercial properties using professional leak detection equipment.
- Diagnose leaks on domestic water services, irrigation systems, and underground piping.
- Determine the most efficient repair method and complete repairs when required.
- Communicate findings clearly with customers and company management.
- Document leak locations, repair recommendations, and completed work.
- Travel to customer sites throughout the region or nationwide as needed.
- Maintain company-issued vehicle, leak detection equipment, and tools.
- Follow all company safety procedures and industry best practices.
Requirements
- Minimum 3 years of commercial underground leak detection experience preferred.
- Proven ability to independently locate underground water leaks.
- Strong understanding of commercial plumbing systems and underground water distribution.
- Experience using professional leak detection equipment, including acoustic listening devices, correlators, ground microphones, tracer gas systems, or other advanced leak detection technology.
- Ability to diagnose complex underground plumbing issues without unnecessary excavation.
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
- Ability and willingness to travel.
- Excellent troubleshooting and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
What We Provide
- Company truck
- Professional leak detection equipment and tools
- Fuel card
- Travel expenses covered when applicable
- Competitive hourly pay based on experience
- Overtime opportunities
- Paid training on company procedures
- Advancement opportunities within a rapidly growing commercial plumbing company
Our Customers
Our customers include:
- Hotels
- Multifamily apartment communities
- Mobile home parks (MHPs)
- Commercial and institutional properties
Many of our customers experience significant underground water losses that can waste thousands of gallons of water per day, resulting in substantial utility costs. Your expertise will play a critical role in helping them quickly locate leaks, minimize water loss, and restore their plumbing systems.
What We're Looking For
We are seeking someone who is confident in their ability to locate underground leaks with accuracy. If you need extensive training on leak detection, this position is likely not the right fit. We need an experienced specialist who can be dispatched to a commercial property, identify the source of the leak, explain the findings, and either perform or coordinate the repair.
If you take pride in solving challenging underground leak problems and want to be part of a growing commercial plumbing company with nationwide opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.
