Licensed Plumber (Smart Water Heater Startup)

Location: Portland ME (On-site) | Company: Reservoir | Job Type: Full-time

About Reservoir

Reservoir is a VC-backed technology company that designs and builds an innovative, all-electric heat pump water heater. Real innovation is rare in the plumbing world, and we are creating it in-house from the ground up.

We are now scaling our install team to get these water heaters into more homes across New England. Because we handle both manufacturing and install ourselves, our field team works hand in hand with the people who build the product: better training, faster troubleshooting on the job, and higher quality for our customers.

You will own the quality of every job on your van, make sure each install meets Plumbing code, and deliver an incredible customer experience. This is a hands-on field role with clear leadership growth as we scale.

• Lead installation of all-electric smart heat pump water heaters in customer homes
• Ensure every install meets ME plumbing code and Reservoir quality standards
