Job description:
About us
At First Choice Maintenance (FCM), we've proudly delivered high-quality facility maintenance services across Canada since 2003. We specialize in plumbing, water filtration, electrical, restaurant equipment, grease interceptor service, and more — with a strong focus on reliable, responsive field service.
We are a 100% Canadian-owned company that believes in supporting our tradespeople with the tools, respect, and flexibility they need to succeed — especially in the dynamic, fast-paced environments we serve.
About the Role
We are hiring a Red Seal Journeyman Plumber based in London, ON. This is a full-time, field-based role involving daily travel to job sites, primarily in the commercial and foodservice sectors.
This role is perfect for a plumbing professional with expert knowledge and extensive hands-on experience in drain cleaning, grease interceptor servicing, and commercial drainage system maintenance. You will be expected to diagnose complex drain and pipe blockages and provide effective solutions quickly and efficiently. This position requires a highly skilled specialist who is comfortable working independently and thrives in a demanding, hands-on environment. Much of the work is performed in active retail or restaurant locations, often in tight spaces and around customers.
What You'll Do
- Diagnose, maintain, and repair commercial plumbing systems with a strong emphasis on drain cleaning and clearing blockages
- Perform drain cleaning, jetting, and grease interceptor servicing
- Complete service calls and preventative maintenance visits
- Recommend repair solutions and communicate clearly with clients and internal teams
- Maintain safe, clean, and food-safe job sites during and after work
- Accurately complete digital service reports and timesheets
- Follow all safety regulations, building codes, and company protocols
- Drive to different locations throughout the day (company vehicle provided)
- Occasionally respond to after-hours or weekend calls, as required
Work schedules can vary based on service needs and may occasionally include evening or weekend work, with advance notice when possible. One of the benefits of working with FCM is that you can focus fully on your plumbing skills — we handle all customer billing and scheduling. You'll enjoy a steady flow of service calls from our established commercial clients, so you never have to worry about finding your next job or chasing payments.
What We're Looking For
- Red Seal Certified Journeyman Plumber (Required)
- Valid G Driver's License (ON) and clean driving record (Required)
- Comfortable with mobile apps, work orders, and digital tools (Required)
- 3–5+ years of plumbing experience in a service-focused role, with demonstrable expertise in drain cleaning and grease interceptor maintenance

- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Strong attention to safety, cleanliness, and detail
- Clear, professional communication skills (both written and verbal)
- Physically able to lift 50–100 lbs and work in demanding environments
- Legally eligible to work in Canada
- Backflow Certification is an asset, but not required
- Gas Fitter Certification is an asset
- Legally authorized to work in Canada (FCM does not sponsor work permits, visas, or immigration processes.)
- Clean criminal record (required)
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly wage based on experience
- Company vehicle and fuel card
- All tools, equipment, and uniforms provided
- Health and dental benefits after probation period
