Residential Service Plumber - Guaranteed 40 hours per week!

Residential Service Plumber

Burns & McBride | New Castle, DE

Guaranteed 40 Hours Every Week

Pay: $35–$45/hour base pay + commission + monthly revenue/performance bonuses

Build Something New—Without Starting From Scratch

Burns & McBride is launching a residential plumbing department, and we’re looking for an experienced service plumber who wants more than another seat in another truck.

Since 1949, Burns & McBride has earned the trust of homeowners throughout Delaware and the greater Wilmington area by delivering dependable home services and standing behind our work.  Now, we’re bringing that same reputation and customer-first approach to residential plumbing.

You’ll have the rare opportunity to help build a new department while benefiting from an established brand, an existing homeowner customer base, and a company that has served the community for more than 75 years. Your experience and ideas will matter as we establish our plumbing standards, processes, and reputation.

We’re looking for a self-driven professional who takes ownership of their day. You diagnose accurately, communicate clearly, present repair and replacement options confidently, and create revenue by educating homeowners—not pressuring them.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

We don’t just offer jobs—we build careers. Here’s what you can expect as part of our team:

Industry-leading compensation: We believe in recognizing and rewarding excellent performance through hourly pay plus uncapped commissions and performance based bonuses.

Guaranteed 40 hours every week: Count on consistent hours and dependable earning potential.

Fully stocked warehouse and parts runners: Spend less time tracking down materials and more time completing calls.

New, clean, fully stocked truck: Arrive prepared with a professional service vehicle ready for the day’s work.

Comprehensive health benefits: Affordable, high-quality medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family.

Paid time off from day one: Start earning PTO immediately because time away from work matters.

401(k) with company match: Build long-term financial security with support from the company.

Parental leave: Receive support as your family grows.

Training and development: Continue building your technical, customer-service, and leadership skills through our Service Professionals Academy and Resource Center.

Annual performance reviews: Receive regular feedback and recognition, with opportunities to be rewarded for your growth and results.

What You’ll Do

Diagnose, repair, and replace residential plumbing systems, fixtures, and equipment

Independently manage a full daily service schedule

Thoroughly evaluate plumbing concerns and identify the root cause—not just the immediate symptom

Explain findings clearly and present homeowners with appropriate repair and replacement options

Help customers make informed decisions through honest education and professional recommendations

Complete repairs safely, efficiently, and to a high standard of quality

Build trust with homeowners and consistently deliver an outstanding customer experience

Meet performance and revenue goals by identifying legitimate customer needs and offering the right solutions

Accurately document diagnoses, estimates, recommendations, and completed work using mobile service software

Maintain a clean, organized, and properly stocked service vehicle

Protect customers’ homes and leave every work area cleaner than you found it

Minimize callbacks by completing work correctly the first time

Provide feedback and ideas that help strengthen the new plumbing department

What We’re Looking For

Five or more years of residential service plumbing experience

Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills across residential plumbing systems

Proven ability to independently manage a daily service schedule

Experience presenting repair and replacement options to homeowners

A history of delivering exceptional customer service while consistently meeting revenue goals

Confident, professional, and customer-focused communication skills

Strong organization, follow-through, and time-management abilities
