Esser Plumbing & Heating, Perham, MN, United States


2nd Year Plumbing Apprentice - Service Technician
Company: Esser Plumbing and Heating, Inc. Location: Perham Position Type: Full-time Pay Range: $22.00 - $26.00 per hour depending on experience

Take the Next Step in Your Plumbing Career
Esser Plumbing and Heating is looking for a 2nd Year Plumbing Apprentice who is ready to move beyond basic tasks and begin developing higher-level service technician skills.

If you already have hands‑on plumbing service experience and want to grow your troubleshooting ability, take on more responsibility, and work toward your journeyman license, this is the role for you.

If you have less than 2 years of plumbing experience or limited experience with service (as opposed to installation), this role will not be a fit.

You’ll work alongside experienced technicians while starting to take ownership of service calls and building the skills needed to become a top‑level plumber.

What You’ll Do

Assist with and begin leading portions of plumbing service calls in residential and light commercial settings

Support diagnosis and repair of plumbing systems including:

Fixtures, piping, and drainage systems

Water heaters and sump pumps

Leaks, clogs, and pressure issues

Learn to troubleshoot plumbing problems and recommend solutions

Communicate professionally with customers on job sites

Maintain clean, organized, and safe work areas

Properly use and maintain tools, equipment, and company vehicles

Continue building skills toward independent service work and licensure

What We’re Looking For

A minimum 2 years of plumbing apprentice experience is required

Active apprentice registration (or ability to obtain/maintain)

Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability

Willingness to learn and take direction while growing independence

Professional attitude and customer service mindset

Must be 18 or older

Valid driver’s license with acceptable driving record

What Makes You Stand Out

Experience in service and repair work (not just new construction)

Ability to begin diagnosing common plumbing issues independently

Strong communication skills with customers and team members

Desire to grow into a lead technician or journeyman role

Physical Requirements

Ability to lift and carry up to 60 lbs

Comfortable working in confined spaces and varying conditions

Ability to bend, kneel, climb, and stand for extended periods

Work indoors and outdoors in seasonal environments

Why Join Esser Plumbing and Heating?

Benefits: Health, dental, paid time off, retirement plan options

Get Paid to Grow – Build real‑world service experience every day

Career Path to Journeyman – We support your licensing and development

If you’ve got the basics down and are ready to grow into a skilled service technician, we want to hear from you. Apply today and take the next step toward becoming a licensed plumber.
