Job description

Description

Build a Career, Not Just a Job

Do you like people — talking with them, earning their trust, helping them make a good decision — but hate the idea of "selling"? Are you hands‑on, mechanically curious, and happiest when you’re outdoors solving a real problem instead of sitting behind a desk?

At Van Delden Wastewater Systems, our Aerobic Technicians are the face of our company. You’ll spend your day one‑on‑one with homeowners, diagnosing their septic system, explaining what’s going on in plain language, and recommending the right fix. It’s relationship‑driven work — the instincts of a great salesperson, without a sales pitch, a quota, or commission breathing down your neck. You do the job right, you take care of the customer, and you’re rewarded for it.

This isn’t a stepping‑stone gig. It’s a real trade, with real earning potential and a clear path forward, at a family‑owned company that’s been trusted across San Antonio, Boerne, and the Texas Hill Country for over 89 years.

Why Techs Build Careers Here

Get Paid What You’re Worth

$50,000–$85,000 per year, depending on hours worked and incentives earned
Starting pay: $24/hour, plus overtime (techs average 45-50 hours/week)
Weekly pay with direct deposit
Individual performance incentives — no commission, no pressure to "close." You’re recognized on your own merits across the things that actually matter: how you treat customers, the quality of your work, and the revenue you help generate for the company
After your first 3 months, you’re eligible for incentive pay on top of your hourly rate.
Here’s what that actually looks like for our techs today:
Entry‑level (first 3 months, base pay only): ~$4,200/month
Mid‑level tech (with incentives): ~$6,200/month
Our best techs (with incentives): ~$7,100/month — that’s over $85,000/year
There’s no ceiling on it. These are real numbers from real techs on our team today — not a cap. The better you get, the more you earn. The only limit is you.

We’re Invested in You

What You’ll Actually Do

Think of yourself as part detective, part mechanic, part trusted advisor:

Investigate and diagnose septic system issues using your electrical and mechanical know-how
Sit down with customers, explain what you found, and walk them through their options honestly — no upselling, just straight answers
Make the repair, using hands‑on tools and troubleshooting skills
Leave every system running safely and efficiently
Build the kind of trust that turns a one‑time customer into a lifelong one

You’ll get a little dirty. You’ll also go home every day knowing you kept families safe and healthy — and that the way you treated a customer today is directly tied to how you’re rewarded tomorrow.

Your Schedule

Monday – Friday, starting at 7:30 AM. End time varies by day depending on the workload — some days you’ll wrap up a bit early, some a bit later, but 5:00 PM is the average.

On‑call rotation is light — on average, one weekend a month, with 1–3 phone calls and about one actual site visit a year.

Is This You?

You genuinely like talking with people and want them to trust you — without the pressure of selling to them
2+ years of electrical experience
Dependable, reliable, and hardworking
A clean, presentable appearance — you’re representing our company at every customer’s home
Comfortable with an iPad and other electronic devices
Valid driver’s license (3+ years) and reliable transportation
Able to pass a background check and drug test
