About Us

Concrete Blonde Aquatics is a premier aquatic specialty brand dedicated to providing exceptional livestock, supplies, and maintenance services. We are seeking a highly reliable, knowledgeable, and deeply self-motivated Commercial Aquarium Service Technician to join our team.

This role focuses on the professional maintenance and care of commercial display aquariums directly at client locations.

Because this is a fully autonomous role, you will be working completely alone in the field and must have exceptional time management skills to strictly maintain your own service schedule.

Your proven expertise ensures our clients' systems thrive without requiring constant oversight.
