Lead Plumber

Lead Plumber — Help Build a Business, Not Just Run Calls | Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Eastern Essex (Nutley, NJ)

Ever thought about owning your own plumbing business — but the licensing, the capital, the insurance, the marketing made it impossible? Here's the next best thing.

We're a brand-new Mr. Rooter franchise launching this August in Nutley, serving Essex County, and we're hiring our first plumber. Not a warm body for a van — the technical leader of this company. The owner brings 20+ years of business, government, and marketing experience and handles the phones, the advertising, and the back office. You bring the trade. Together we build something.

What makes this different

• Guaranteed base salary — you're not gambling on a startup's call volume. You get paid from day one, every week, while we grow.
• Profit sharing — when the business wins, you win. You'll see how the company performs and share in it.
• A real voice — you'll help choose our equipment, set our quality standards, design our service workflows, and interview every tech we hire after you.
• National brand behind you — Mr. Rooter/Neighborly training, systems, and name recognition, without the franchise fee coming out of your pocket.

The work

Residential and light commercial service — drain cleaning, sewer line repair and replacement, water heaters, and general service plumbing across Essex County.

Who we're looking for

A NJ Master Plumber is ideal, but we'll absolutely talk to experienced journeymen and seasoned service plumbers — tell us where you are and where you want to go. You'll need a valid driver's license with an insurable record, comfort using a tablet for invoicing, and pride in doing the job right. Our motto: *Not the cheapest. The best*.

Pay

$75,000–$120,000+ depending on license and experience, plus profit sharing.
