Airco Service Company is hiring a Drain Cleaning Specialist to support residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing service work across the St. Louis Metro East. This is a strong opportunity for someone with hands-on drain, sewer, plumbing, maintenance, or labor experience who wants steady work, training, and a long-term path in the mechanical trades.

Our team is known for quality work, practical problem-solving, and taking care of customers the right way.

• Diagnose clogged drains, sewer backups, slow drains, floor drains, sinks, tubs, toilets, and related plumbing issues
• Operate drain cleaning equipment such as cable machines, snakes, augers, sewer machines, and related tools
• Support camera inspections, drain locating, and basic troubleshooting as experience allows
• Communicate professionally with customers, dispatch, and internal team members throughout the day
• Explain findings clearly and help customers understand recommended next steps
• Maintain accurate job notes, photos, and service documentation
• Keep company tools, equipment, vehicle, and work areas clean and organized
• Follow safety procedures on every jobsite, including proper PPE and equipment handling
• Assist plumbing/service technicians when needed on broader service or repair work
• Represent Airco with professionalism, reliability, and a customer-first attitude
What We’re Looking For
• Experience in drain cleaning, sewer work, plumbing, maintenance, construction, labor, HVAC, or another hands-on trade
• Strong mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn specialized drain and sewer equipment
• Ability to perform physical work, including lifting, bending, kneeling, carrying equipment, and working in tight or dirty areas
• Valid driver’s license with a clean, insurable driving record
• Good communication skills with customers and teammates
• Dependable attendance, strong work ethic, and pride in doing the job correctly
• Ability to work independently once trained while knowing when to ask for support
• Comfortable using a phone, tablet, or basic software to document jobs and communicate with dispatch
• Willingness to work overtime or on-call rotations as business needs require
Preferred Experience
• Prior drain cleaning, sewer, or plumbing service experience
• Experience with sewer cameras, drain locating, hydro-jetting, or heavy-duty cabling equipment
• Plumbing apprentice, plumbing helper, or maintenance technician background
• Experience working in customers’ homes, commercial buildings, or occupied facilities
• OSHA, safety training, or other trade-related certifications
Why Join Airco Service Company?
• Competitive hourly pay with room to grow as skills increase
• Opportunity to build a long-term career in plumbing and mechanical service
• Hands-on training and support from an experienced local team
• Steady, year-round service work across the Metro East and Greater St. Louis market
