About Frank Water Systems

At Frank Water Systems, we aren't a rigid franchise. We are a trusted, locally-owned team with over 20 years of plumbing and water treatment experience in the Charlotte region. We pride ourselves on offering honest, upfront advice with zero high-pressure sales tactics. Our mission is simple: provide local families with clean, safe water and elite craftsmanship. As our community deals with hard water, municipal chlorine, and growing well-water demands, we are looking for a skilled Installer who takes pride in perfecting whole-home water solutions.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Plumbing Install Technician specializing heavily in the installation, diagnostic setup, and servicing of residential water treatment systems. You will be the face of our craftsmanship, transforming a home’s water quality by installing top-tier whole-home filtration, water softeners, and reverse osmosis systems.

If you are a plumber who loves clean, tidy pipework, understands residential water loops, and enjoys providing great customer service, you will thrive here.

Key Responsibilities

Expert Installations: Install whole-house water filtration systems, water conditioners/softeners, UV purification systems, iron filters, and under-sink Reverse Osmosis (RO) units.
Plumbing Adaptations: Safely alter and tie into existing residential PEX, copper, and PVC main lines, ensuring neat, leak-free configurations.
System Start-Up & Testing: Program digital control valves (regeneration cycles, hardness levels) and conduct post-installation water testing to verify performance.
Client Education: Walk the homeowner through their new system, explaining how it works, bypass operations, and basic maintenance (such as salt or filter changes).
Diagnostics & Upgrades: Assess existing older systems for retrofits, troubleshoot pressure issues, and offer honest recommendations for upgrades.
Maintain Standards: Keep your service vehicle organized and clean, stocked with the proper fittings and tools for daily routes.

Qualifications & Skills

Experience: 2+ years of residential plumbing installation experience. Specific experience with water softeners and water treatment equipment is highly preferred.
Technical Savvy: Strong knowledge of residential water flow plumbing, pressure tanks, and basic control valve programming.
Local Knowledge: Familiarity with the Greater Charlotte area’s water landscapes (both municipal city water and private well-water systems) is a major plus.
Customer-First Attitude: Alignment with our "no pressure, honest advice" policy. You must be polite, clean-cut, and professional in customers' homes.
Credentials: Valid Driver’s License with a clean driving record. Plumbing license or WQA (Water Quality Association) certifications are a strong plus but not required.

What We Offer

Competitive Pay: $25.00 – $35.00/hour depending on plumbing and water treatment experience.
Bonus Structure: Additional performance and installer bonus opportunities.
Work-Life Balance: Reliable daytime schedule (Monday – Friday).
Supportive Team: Work directly with a local industry expert in a non-corporate, positive work culture.
Equipped to Succeed: Company vehicle/fuel provided for service routes.

If you are ready to elevate your plumbing career into the rewarding water purification industry, we want to hear from you!
