We’re looking for Service Technicians to join our team and help deliver safe, reliable propane services to our customers. This role is hands-on and customer-facing — you’ll be setting propane tanks, installing gas lines, performing leak and pressure tests, and troubleshooting gas-burning appliances.

If you take pride in your work, enjoy solving problems, and want to be part of a team that values safety and customer service, this may be the perfect fit for you.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver, set, and install propane tanks and gas lines in compliance with all codes and safety standards.
• Drive and operate company service vehicles, including vans and boom trucks.
• Conduct leak and pressure tests to ensure system safety.
• Troubleshoot and repair gas-burning appliances.
• Complete compliance paperwork, gas check forms, and work orders.
• Educate new customers with propane safety packets and walk-throughs.
• Safely operate trenchers and other equipment for line installation.
• Train and mentor helpers in job techniques and safety practices.
• Maintain a clean and organized work vehicle and professional appearance.
• Participate in on-call rotation as scheduled.

Qualifications: What We’re Looking For

• Strong customer service skills — able to communicate clearly, respectfully, and professionally with homeowners.
• Physical ability to perform job duties (lifting up to 100 lbs occasionally, climbing, kneeling, working in crawl spaces/attics).
• Ability to detect leaks (hearing and smell required).
• Skilled with hand tools, power tools, and job-related equipment.
• Safety-first mindset with commitment to company, state, and federal regulations.
• Previous propane/gas service experience is a plus — but not required (we’ll train the right candidate!).

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a team that puts Safety First and values doing the right thing.
• Competitive pay and benefits.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.
• Work for a company where your skills make a real difference in the community.
