- Maintain clean, safe, code‑compliant worksites; follow WorkSafeBC requirements
- Communicate professionally with customers and represent Mr. Swirl on every call
What We’re Looking For
- Registered Plumbing Apprentice with 2+ years of experience (BCIT or equiv. schooling)
- Solid fundamentals, strong work ethic, reliability, and eagerness to learn
- Professional communication and teamwork; clean, precise workmanship
- Valid Class 5 driver’s license with clean abstract
- Gas ticket or backflow exposure is an asset (not required)
What We Offer

- Broad exposure to service plumbing, drain cleaning, and water heater work
