At Tioga Plumbing & Electric, we pride ourselves on our family-oriented culture, where both our customers and employees feel valued and supported. We are currently seeking an experienced New-Construction/Commercial Plumber to join our dynamic team. This role is vital to maintaining the high standards of service that our clients have come to expect, especially in the ever-changing environments of commercial construction.

Work Environment and Expectations:

As a New-Construction/Commercial Plumber, you will often find yourself working in diverse environments, subject to various seasonal temperatures. This means being adaptable and physically fit, as the job may require you to maneuver through both cold and hot conditions while managing your tasks effectively. Our standard work hours start at 7 AM, with a commitment of 40 hours a week, including some weekends. Flexibility in your schedule will be key to meeting project deadlines and client expectations.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Installation of Plumbing Systems:

   • You will be responsible for installing plumbing systems in both new and existing commercial properties. This requires not just technical knowledge but also a keen eye for detail, ensuring every installation adheres to local codes and standards.
   • Example: When installing a new plumbing system, you will need to assess the layout of the building and determine the most efficient routing for pipes, taking into account both accessibility and aesthetics.

2. Inspection and Maintenance:

   • Conduct inspections of previously installed systems to ensure they remain compliant with current regulations. If issues arise, you will need to perform necessary repairs.
   • Example: Regularly inspecting backflow preventers to ensure they function correctly can prevent costly water damage and ensure compliance with health regulations.

3. Communication with Contractors and Clients:

   • You’ll serve as the primary contact for general contractors regarding plumbing issues. Clear and professional communication is essential to resolve issues quickly and maintain project timelines.
   • Example: If a contractor reports a leak, your ability to promptly assess the situation and communicate potential solutions can prevent delays and enhance client satisfaction.

4. Safety Regulations:

   • Stay updated on the latest safety regulations and plumbing practices to ensure all work is compliant. This knowledge not only protects you but also our clients and their properties.
   • Example: Familiarizing yourself with OSHA regulations and applying them during installations ensures a safe work environment for everyone on site.

5. Documentation and Reporting:

   • Keep detailed reports of work done, managing a work log effectively to document your activities and any issues encountered.
   • Example: Documenting each stage of the installation process not only helps in tracking progress but can also serve as valuable information for future maintenance.

Qualifications and Skills:

To be successful in this role, you must hold a minimum of a Journeyman License, showcasing your expertise in the plumbing field. Strong troubleshooting and critical thinking skills are crucial; they enable you to diagnose issues efficiently and implement effective solutions.

Additionally, excellent communication skills—both written and verbal—are vital. They will aid in your interactions with clients and team members, fostering a collaborative work environment.

Physical Demands:

This position is physically demanding. You should be prepared to bend, stand, reach, pull, lift, and carry various items, often in challenging conditions. Being in good physical shape will enhance your performance and help you manage the workload more effectively.

Tools and Equipment:

Having your own hand tools and equipment is necessary for completing tasks across various job sites. While heavy tools will be provided, being equipped with your own cordless power tools will allow you to work efficiently and confidently.

In addition to a competitive salary, Tioga Plumbing & Electric offers a robust benefits package. This includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as Aflac.
