Position Details

This position is for a well-experienced pool leak detection and repair tech in the pool industry. This person should be well-versed in basically everything regarding pool leak detection and repair. They should be able to perform these types of jobs on both commercial and residential pools.

Here’s how it works. Leak detections come in all the time, mostly from existing customers but occasionally they come in from new customers. When a leak detection job comes in, you will be given relevant information about the job which will include the customer’s name, the address, a brief description of the work requested, gate codes and/or keys, and pictures/videos of the job. You will then need to provide your manager with two important numbers:

1. The amount you want to get paid for your labor.

2. The amount the job will cost in materials.

Once you provide these two numbers to your manager, your manager will mark these numbers up and send a quote to the customer. Once the quote is approved by the customer, you will be instructed to complete the leak detection and/or repair. You will then notify your manager once the job is complete. You'll send your manager an invoice each week of all the jobs you completed that week. Your manager will then verify each job on your invoice and process it for payroll. You will be paid on a weekly basis as a 1099 employee.

You will buy all materials from our distributors under the Phillips Pool Service, Inc. account. Hence, you will have no out-of-pocket expenses for materials required for the jobs that come in. On the rare occasion you do have out-of-pocket expenses for materials, you will be fully reimbursed by the company. The more jobs you complete, the more money you will make.

Benefits of Working for Phillips Pool Service

Phillips Pool Service offers the best compensation in the business (seriously), and we provide the highest autonomy for our employees. For instance, we leave our repair techs alone while they are working, and we only contact them if absolutely needed, typically when a customer has contacted us. In other words, we really try to leave our repair techs alone as much as possible as we know they are busy out in the field working.

Our repair techs enjoy this job mostly because it is stress-free, they work by themselves, they get to work outside and not behind a desk, they work with their hands, they don’t have to work nights or weekends, and there is minimal interaction with management. Plus, our commission-based pay-by-repair structure allows each repair tech to decide how much they want to get paid on each job (there's no salary cap or $/hour cap). And the more jobs they complete, the more money they earn. The sky is the limit.
