Thank you.
Epic Alliance Inc. is looking for an amazing person to join our team. Can you handle getting crap out of the way? Do you know how thrones work inside and out? Can you run Pex like a boss? Have you installed a furnace or worked on furnaces older than your mom? Well, Epic Alliance Inc. is looking for a plumber apprentice. Are you well-schooled in residential plumbing? Are you creative at fixing things? Do you want to work a 9-5er? Can you teach others what you know? Does the idea of working on a large variety of challenges appeal to you? Do you like the idea of learning to do more than just your trade? With us, you will be working on anything and everything related to residential properties. Things like dryer ducts, pex lines, new installation, furnaces and even shoveling sidewalks. Yup, I said even shoveling sidewalks. Why you might ask...because it needed to be done.
We are looking for someone who can be self-reliant and work with a team. To keep people working, you may have to partake in different kinds of work. Epic has a large number of rental properties and plumbing is always an issue! AKA this position has a lot of job security. Our company is very involved in apprenticeship training. The workload is all residential plumbing. The majority of the work is in Saskatoon and in various neighborhoods.
