An Entry Level Job to Change Your Life! – Build-a-Plumber Trainee

You don’t dream of spending your life in a cubicle.

You wanna work with your hands and help people. But without experience or an education in the trades, it might feel impossible.

You were meant to find this job!

You don’t need any experience. Are you good with your hands? Good with people? Not afraid of an adventure?

You’re perfect for Build-a-Plumber!

What Is Build-a-Plumber?

It’s a fun name for our plumbing training program! And it’s not just training—when you pass the class, we’ll hire you full-time as an official Morris-Jenkins plumber at our Greenville location.

Our next class starts on April 27, 2026!

We’ll pay you during training ($18/hr with a raise when you graduate). After all, we want you to focus on learning and becoming the best plumber possible, not worrying about how you’ll pay your bills.

Training is at our state-of-the-art training facility in Charlotte, NC. On training days, we’ll include breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You’ll also have the choice between either a free hotel room for training days OR mileage reimbursement to and from training.

Our Build-a-Plumber trainees come from all kinds of backgrounds—retail workers, servers, massage therapists, students, insurance adjustors… you name it! Your past doesn’t have to dictate what you become in your future.

Your Role:

During training, you’ll:

• Learn from some of the top plumbers around in a classroom setting
• Practice your new skills in our state-of-the-art plumbing training center
• Train with experienced plumbers on actual service calls
• Test your skills and knowledge as you go

Once you graduate class, you’ll:

• Become a full-time Drain Technician!
• Help families with their clogs and slow drains
• Fix and replace leaky faucets, shower heads, and garbage disposals
• Continue to learn and grow as a plumber (we have lots of opportunities for you to advance!)

Perks of the Job:

Aside from paid training and a full-time job offer, Build-a-Plumber comes with some other cool perks too. You’ll get:

• Paid time off, including 8 paid holidays
• A company vehicle, gas card, free uniforms, and a free laundry service
• Good pay! Morris-Jenkins pays way more than most companies. After you graduate class, we’ll give you a raise! Many of our Build-a-Plumber graduates are now making more than $100k a year.
  • Plumbing is one of the highest paid trades in America! It’s more consistent than pay for HVAC technicians, and the room for growth is even better! Our Drain Techs can expect to make about $56,000 in their first year.
• A career you can be proud of! Sewage leaks can lead to disease and carbon monoxide leaks can kill entire families without warning. As a plumber, you can detect these leaks before disaster strikes. You can save lives.

All About You

• You’re brave! Spiders, snakes, tight spaces, heights… oh my! This job isn’t for the faint of heart. Luckily, you don’t scare easily.
• You’re competitive. You want a career with endless achievement opportunities. You set your bar high and put your all into everything you do. You’re gonna grow so much here!
• You’re good with your hands. Even if you don’t have plumbing experience, you’ve maybe worked on some projects around the house. Maybe you’re the go-to friend when something breaks! You need a job that lets you play with tools and cool equipment, not one that sticks you behind a desk all the time. You want puzzles and hands-on problem-solving!
• You make friends easily. You’ve never met a stranger you couldn’t talk to! You love meeting new people and getting to know them, and helping others always makes your day!

Morris-Jenkins has been voted Top Workplace time and time again!
