Job listings throw around the word opportunity without explaining what it means. Septic work gets passed over by people who would be good at it, mostly because nobody tells them what the day involves or where it leads. A septic career is an essential field and open to people with no trade background. Keep reading to see what the job is like, who tends to do well in it, and how to reach Superior Septic about current openings.
A septic technician spends a lot of time moving between properties on a route dispatch sends over each morning. Pumping is the main task on most days. You back the vacuum truck to the tank access, uncover the lid, drop the hose, and clear the sludge and effluent while checking baffle condition and liquid levels. On another shift, you might run a camera line to locate a blockage or dig up a section of drain field to swap out failed distribution box parts. Inspections make up a portion of the work as well. Real estate transactions can trigger point-of-sale septic checks. The technician runs dye tests, measures scum and sludge layers, and creates a report for the buyer's agent before closing.Installations take longer and require a larger crew. You'll operate or spot for an excavator, set concrete or plastic tanks, lay pipe, and backfill to permit specs. County health inspectors show up for the final walk-through.
We frequently hire for positions including:
Earn competitive wages along with valuable benefits that support you and your family.
Advance your skills through ongoing training, certifications, and promotion opportunities.
Work alongside experienced professionals who value teamwork, respect, and collaboration.
Join a trusted, growing company with consistent work and long-term career opportunities.
Enjoy a positive workplace that respects your time and helps you maintain a healthy balance.
People usually come into a septic career from other lines of work and pick up the specialty pieces on the job. A few backgrounds transfer well.
Truck driving ranks high. A CDL puts you ahead on hiring day since vacuum trucks and dump trucks can be difficult to drive. Diesel mechanic experience is helpful when pump failures, hydraulic leaks, or PTO issues come up on the route.
Construction and excavation work are also a great fit. If you've run a mini excavator, set grade, or laid PVC pipe, you'll recognize half the tasks on an install. Plumbers can move into septic work with almost no ramp-up on the residential side.
Farm and ranch experience can also help. A childhood around tanks, pumps, and heavy equipment builds some of the instincts that a septic route rewards. Comfort with livestock waste tends to make the smell part of the job a non-issue.
Military service ranks high as well. A veteran knows how to show up on time, follow a checklist, and work a long day. Any MOS involving vehicles, heavy equipment, or utilities lines up well with this trade.
Customer-facing jobs are also a bonus. A tech knocks on a homeowner's door, explains what a failed drain field means for the property, and quotes a repair the customer may not have budgeted for. Retail, food service, and trades that involve talking to clients build the muscle for critical conversations.
Septic work is outdoor labor. You'll spend the day standing, walking on uneven ground, climbing in and out of a truck, and pulling a two-inch or four-inch vacuum hose that gets heavy when it's full. A pump job might require dragging 100 feet of hose across a lawn. Excavation days involve shoveling by hand where the machine can't reach.
Schedules are usually full-time, though the exact hours depend on the season and the workload. Some technicians also handle emergency calls outside normal business hours.
Reliability outranks every other trait. Most days start early, and the crew depends on everyone being there and ready to get on the road. A no-show throws off five or six customers who blocked out time. Reliability matters more than almost anything else. If people know they can count on you to show up ready to work, you'll already have one of the most important qualities we value most.
Comfort with dirty, smelly work is the second filter. Nobody warms up to raw sewage on day one. What matters is whether you can shrug it off after the first week and focus on the task. Some new hires find out on day two the job isn't for them, and that's fine. Better to know early.
Problem-solving pays off. A blockage might sit 40 feet down a lateral line under a driveway. The tech who thinks through where the clog is likely located, uses the camera efficiently, and picks the right access point clears the call faster and earns a repeat customer.
Self-direction is important once you're running solo routes. You'll make judgment calls at the property about what needs pumping, what needs repair, and what the customer should watch for before you drive away.
If any of that sounds like work you’re qualified for, Superior Septic wants to hear from you. Prior septic experience isn't required for every entry-level position. A clean driving record, a willingness to learn the equipment, and the ability to commit to a full-time schedule go a long way. Reach out today to find out more.
It’s no wonder they have so many 5 star reviews. They came within three days of me calling and were extremely helpful in answering all of my questions as a new homeowner and first time septic tank user. Mark and Josh were extremely professional and very helpful and I will absolutely use them again next time I’m in need of septic service.
Great experience. Clear communication and quality service.
