Job description

Who We Are

At Seaside Plumbing, we’re not just fixing plumbing—we’re restoring peace, uplifting lives, and raising the standard of what service in the trades looks like.

We believe:

• Service should feel human, not transactional
• Technicians should be respected, trained, and developed
• Anyone willing to learn and work hard can build a meaningful career
• And a plumbing career can be something you’re proud of—not just something you do

We’ve built a company where people grow, customers trust us, and the bar is set high.

Let’s Be Clear (Read This First)

This is not for everyone.

This is not easy work. And it can get REALLY dirty sometimes.
This is not a “just show up” job.

This is a high-performance environment where:

• Effort matters
• Attitude matters
• Growth matters

You will be learning a skilled trade, working in the field, and developing both technical and people skills.

If you’re not willing to work hard, take feedback, and stay committed—this is not the place for you.

We are where the best come to become elite.

As a Plumbing Apprentice at Seaside, you will:

• Assist plumbers with diagnosing and repairing plumbing issues
• Help locate leaks and identify system problems
• Support pipe repairs, replacements, and installations
• Learn how to select and use tools and materials properly
• Ensure work is completed safely and up to code
• Maintain clean, organized work areas and job sites
• Develop strong customer communication skills in the field
• You may even end up becoming a surfer. . . yes we have noticed an unusually high correlation of plumbers being surfers. . .

What Success Looks Like Here

• You show up ready to learn and improve every day
• You take feedback seriously and apply it
• You develop both technical and customer service skills
• You work hard and take pride in your progress
• You grow into a confident, capable technician over time

What Makes This Role Different

This is not just an entry-level job.

We invest heavily in:

• Technical training through programs like NexTech
• Hands-on field learning
• Communication and personal development

You won’t just learn plumbing here—
You’ll build a career and a skillset that lasts a lifetime.

We believe great people deserve to be taken care of.

• Are motivated to learn a skilled trade
• Have a strong work ethic and positive attitude

• Are not serious about building a career

Location

• This is an in-person position operating out of Bishopville, Maryland
• We serve homeowners across the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware.

Our Values

These values aren't just words on a wall—they guide our decisions, shape our culture, and set the standard for how we work together.

• Ownership — Take initiative. Own the outcome. Leave it better than you found it.
• Empathy — Lead with humanity, care and understanding.
• Courage — Embrace discomfort. Do the hard things. Growth follows.
• Gratitude — There is always something to be grateful for. Find it. Share it.
• Authenticity — Be your weird self and respect that in others. You shine brighter that way.

Final Word

There are easier jobs out there.

But if you’re looking for:

• A real career
• Growth and opportunity
• The ability to help people every day
• A team that actually cares
• And the chance to build something for your future

This might be it.
