Job description

Blue Metric Pools is a high-end pool service company specializing in vacation rental properties on Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Anna Maria Island. We deliver pristine, perfectly balanced pools through AI-driven water testing and modern service software. Our reputation is built on precision, hospitality, and innovation — and we're growing.

THE ROLE

As our Lead Pool Technician, you own the route. You'll handle daily servicing, precision chemical dosing, and minor equipment repairs across some of the area's premier vacation rental properties, using digital tools like Pool Brain and WaterGuru to keep every pool guest-ready. Because our clients are vacation rentals, your schedule includes one weekend day — that's when turnovers happen and pools have to be perfect.

This is a growth position, not a dead-end route job. As we add routes and properties, this role is the launchpad into route leadership and, ultimately, an operations/office role for the right person. We'll put the path in writing.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Daily field service: perform pool servicing to a consistent, resort-level standard Precision chemical dosing: review WaterGuru readings daily and dose using our data-backed methods

Minor repairs: diagnose and fix pump seals, o-rings, timers, salt cells, filter rebuilds, and similar equipment issues in the field

Software oversight: keep routes, jobs, and service data accurate and optimized in Pool Brain and WaterGuru

Bi-annual maintenance inspections: complete reports, tag equipment, and flag issues before they become guest problems

Inventory: monitor and restock chemicals and supplies

Communication: be the point of contact in the field, escalation same-day, and work directly with ownership

Team coordination: as routes grow, help coordinate additional techs and uphold service standards

Process improvement: spot inefficiencies and bring tech-forward solutions

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

2+ years solid pool service experience — high-end residential or vacation rental experience a strong plus

CPO certification preferred — not required. If you're not certified, we'll pay for your CPO course in your first 90 days, with a pay increase when you pass

Comfortable with digital tools (Pool Brain, WaterGuru, or similar)

Self-directed, reliable, and detail-obsessed — you'll run the route independently

Able to lift 50 lbs and work outdoors in Florida heat

A commitment to precision, hospitality, and professionalism — our pools are part of a guest's vacation

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Hourly Rate: $23–$25/hour depending on experience (approx. $47,800–$52,000/year); W-2 with scheduled performance reviews and raises

Paid CPO certification

10 days of Paid time off

Vehicle: company service trailer provided. Initially you'll use your own vehicle with mileage reimbursed at the IRS rate; a company truck is planned for early 2027

A written growth path: Lead Tech → Route Lead → Operations as we expand

SCHEDULE

One weekend day is part of the schedule because vacation rental turnovers and guest issues don't wait for Monday.
