Field Technician
Position Overview
We’re on a mission to revolutionize the plumbing industry, and we’re looking for exceptional service install technicians who are ready to take on the challenge. We’re not just looking for someone who can deliver customer service; we’re looking for someone who can redefine what world-class customer service looks like in our industry.
As a Service Technician, you’ll be joining a team that’s as passionate about plumbing as they are about innovation. You’ll need to bring your A-game every day, using your technical skills to not just meet, but exceed customer expectations with every installation.

Working closely with the lead technician and installation manager, you’ll play a crucial role in ensuring that jobs are completed efficiently, on time, and within budget. Your contributions will directly impact the company’s financial success, and you’ll have the
opportunity to see the fruits of your labor in the field and in the office.

“Always go above and beyond for their customers”
Once again Thompson Family Plumbing came in and took care of us as if we were their family. They always go above and beyond for their customers and make you feel like you are important to them. I can’t thank them enough for coming in and taking care of the issues that I had with my home as quickly as they did. Absolutely the best plumbing company around. Thank you, John and Devynn for everything.

“Price was more than reasonable, especially last minute”
What a great local family company. Had a little issue today (Saturday). Gave them a call. The lady said she would have someone here between 3 & 5. It was at 1 when I called. 3:00 on the nose Don was here. Don was very friendly and had the broken pipe fixed in no time at all. The price was more than reasonable, especially last minute on a Saturday.

“Took care of it in no time”
Plumbing technician Dean Taylor came over last week to set up a line so I could get a dishwasher installed. I didn’t have the proper setup but he took care of it in no time! Now the installers will have no problem doing it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely have him come back for other plumbing jobs. From start to finish everyone I spoke to was very helpful! Their customer service is outstanding!

“Gave me great peace of mind”
Great experience with TFP! They were super professional and friendly, exactly on time, fixed the issue, AND were inexpensive. I received a text when to expect them with a picture of my two technicians (Dean & Kade) AND their license numbers included in the text. This gave me great peace of mind as I am a woman that lives alone. I highly recommend Thompson Family Plumbing!

“Integrity and honesty”
I cannot say enough good things about this amazing company. We found them through reading other people’s reviews on Yelp. They have helped us with a plumbing issue and installing a new hot water heater. They are prompt, reasonable, and incredibly helpful. John’s integrity and honesty along with the rest of the crew would make it a pleasure to recommend to anyone and everyone.
