The Role

We’re looking for a Lead Excavation Technician to lead septic installation projects in the field. This isn’t an office job — it’s a hands-on role that owns outcomes for the department.

While septic experience is a plus, it is not required. Here’s what matters most:

You have meaningful excavator operating experience
You can read plans, determine grade, and adjust when field conditions change
You take pride in safe, clean, high-quality work that gets done right the first time

Every now and then, you may also be asked to support service-related excavation work, troubleshoot challenging field conditions, or assist on larger installation projects.

Key Responsibilities

Lead septic installation projects in the field, including tanks, full septic systems, lift stations, and aerobic treatment systems
Operate excavators, skid steers, and related equipment safely and efficiently
Read blueprints, layouts, and site plans while verifying grade and elevations
Maintain high standards for jobsite safety, including excavation and trench safety
Communicate proactively with project coordination and dispatch teams to ensure jobs are coordinated and completed professionally and on time

Qualifications

3+ years of meaningful excavation, underground utility, sewer, plumbing, civil, or site work experience
Meaningful excavator operating experience required
Experience reading blueprints, layouts, or determining grade/elevations
Septic installation experience is a plus, but not required
Valid driver’s license required (CDL is a major plus, not required)

About Us

At Tidy Tank Plumbing, Sewer & Septic we’re on a mission to elevate the sewer and septic industry by delivering exceptional service with professionalism, quality, and transparency. We believe our team members are the foundation of our success, and we’re committed to creating an environment where they can thrive, grow, and take pride in the work we do every day.

Why Join Our Team?

We are a fast-growing, family-owned business of 50+ incredible people. While many competitors have become corporate or PE-owned, we’re building something different:

Family-owned, and people first
Professional, reliable, and high integrity
Customer-first in every interaction
Invests in training, leadership development, and certifications
Supports your goals and respects you as a person

Here, your leadership will directly impact our team, our customers, and the future of our installation division.
