Job summary

You will interact directly with homeowners and managers, document findings with clear reports, and help expand our local service footprint as the customer base grows. Must be capable, independent, and physically able to lift 100 lbs.

Qualifications

• Proven, hands-on experience in pool and spa maintenance, repair, and leak detection — this is not an entry-level position.
• Deep working knowledge of pool plumbing, filtration systems, and mechanical components.
• Proficiency with diagnostic equipment, including pressure testing apparatus, video inspection tools, and acoustic leak detection devices.
• Experienced with power tools and comfortable performing physical repairs in varied field conditions.
• Able to swim and physically capable of lifting up to 100 lbs.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; your reports and your customer interactions both reflect the quality of your work.
• Ability to pass a criminal background check and drug screening.

Responsibilities

• Pool & Spa Diagnostics — Perform leak detection across pools, spas, and underground piping systems using pressure testing, acoustic, ultrasonic, and video inspection methods.
• Full-Cycle Repairs — Execute complete pool and spa repairs, from plumbing fixes and equipment replacement to leak remediation — no need to hand off to someone else.
• Routine Maintenance — Service and maintain our company's own pool to a high standard, establishing the baseline for how every customer site will be treated.
• Customer Interaction — Work directly with homeowners, property managers, and insurance adjusters on-site; you represent the business in every conversation you have.
• Documentation — Complete thorough, accurate job reports for every visit — clear enough that anyone could pick up where you left off.
• Market Expansion — As the customer base grows, take on additional St. Louis-area accounts and help shape how this service operation scales.

The Opportunity

We need a pool technician who already knows what they're doing. Not someone who's eager to learn the basics — someone who can show up on day one, assess a problem, diagnose a leak, make the repair, and leave the customer with more confidence in their system than before. No hand-holding, no extended ramp-up.

What You'll Own

• Pool & Spa Diagnostics — Perform leak detection across pools, spas, and underground piping systems using pressure testing, acoustic, ultrasonic, and video inspection methods.


• Full-Cycle Repairs — Execute complete pool and spa repairs, from plumbing fixes and equipment replacement to leak remediation — no need to hand off to someone else.


• Routine Maintenance — Service and maintain our company's own pool to a high standard, establishing the baseline for how every customer site will be treated.


• Customer Interaction — Work directly with homeowners, property managers, and insurance adjusters on-site; you represent the business in every conversation you have.


• Documentation — Complete thorough, accurate job reports for every visit — clear enough that anyone could pick up where you left off.


• Market Expansion — As the customer base grows, take on additional St. Louis-area accounts and help shape how this service operation scales.
