Lead Plumber

This isn't a service call role. Our client is a well-established commercial and industrial plumbing contractor serving a multi-state footprint across Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri — handling everything from large-scale mechanical piping and industrial process systems to trenchless sewer relining, municipal infrastructure, and full commercial plumbing. They operate 24/7 for industrial clients who can't afford downtime, and they've built their reputation by putting skilled tradespeople in the field who actually know what they're doing. They're looking for a Lead Plumber who's ready to step up — someone who can run a crew, own a job site, and bring the kind of trade knowledge that earns respect from the first day on-site.

What You'll Own

• Lead day-to-day field operations on commercial and industrial plumbing projects, directing crew members and keeping work on schedule and on spec
• Read and interpret construction drawings, plumbing plans, and specifications to guide installation and ensure code compliance throughout the project
• Perform and oversee installation of commercial and industrial plumbing systems including rough-in, mechanical piping, drain/waste/vent, and fixture installation
• Coordinate material needs and staging with the project team to minimize downtime and keep the crew productive
• Serve as the on-site point of accountability for quality, safety, and workmanship — setting the standard and holding the crew to it
• Interface with clients, GCs, and inspectors in a professional and knowledgeable manner
• Support the Project Manager on larger jobs by managing a portion of the crew or a defined scope of work independently
• Participate in 24-hour emergency response rotation for industrial clients as needed

Requirements

• Journeyman Plumber license (or equivalent experience); Master Plumber license a strong plus
• 5+ years of commercial or industrial plumbing experience, with at least some time leading or mentoring other plumbers in the field
• Solid working knowledge of commercial plumbing systems, mechanical piping, and applicable Arkansas plumbing codes
• Ability to read blueprints and plumbing drawings without assistance
• A hands-on, field-first work style — you'd rather be on the job than behind a desk
• Reliable, focused, and fully committed to the role — this team values people who show up and stay
• Experience with trenchless technology, pipe relining, or industrial/process piping is a meaningful plus
