Great Service Starts With Great People.

At Instant Plumbing & Heating, being a great plumber is about more than knowing how to fix the problem.

It’s about quality workmanship, good judgment, clear communication, and leaving the customer confident that their home was taken care of properly.

We’re looking for an experienced Journeyman Plumber to join our residential service team in Calgary.

You’ll be someone who can confidently diagnose plumbing problems, recommend appropriate solutions, complete quality repairs and installations, and provide homeowners with a professional and positive service experience.

If you take pride in your trade, enjoy solving problems, value doing things properly, and want to be part of an established Calgary company, we’d like to meet you.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Journeyman Plumber at Instant, you’ll provide residential plumbing service, diagnostics, repairs, maintenance and installations throughout Calgary and surrounding communities.

You’ll manage your service calls professionally from start to finish — assessing the problem, explaining your findings and options to the homeowner, completing approved work, documenting the job, and making sure the customer is comfortable with the result.

You’ll also be part of a team that supports one another, shares knowledge and helps develop the next generation of tradespeople.
