Company Overview

NuFlow Upstate NY is a small, family-owned business specializing in non-traditional pipe rehabilitation, including CIPP (cured-in-place pipe lining), pipe cleaning, CCTV inspection, and other “trenchless” technologies. Our specialty is small-to-medium diameter pipe (1.5" - 24") within the building footprint for sanitary, storm, process waste, forced mains, cooling towers, fire, potable water, condensate return, and other various applications. We also perform pipe rehabilitation work outside the building footprint – laterals to mains, site storm / sanitary – for small-to-large diameter pipe. These innovations are ideal for commercial, industrial, multi-family, educational, and institutional applications where disruption must be minimized and results need to be dependable.

Position Overview

· The Field Technician is responsible for executing trenchless pipe rehabilitation work in commercial, industrial, institutional and municipal environments.

· This role is critical to delivering high-quality outcomes for customers. The ideal candidate is mechanically inclined, safety-focused, dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in physically demanding environments.

Location

· This role is based primarily in Rochester (Henrietta), but the employee must be willing to travel regionally with a crew of technicians. Our region is defined as Western / Upstate NY (Syracuse, Albany, Watertown, Buffalo, Jamestown, Binghamton, etc.).

· Roughly 80% of our work is within a 60-90-mile radius of Rochester, but occasionally we may have jobs that require overnight stays in hotels for a few days at a time. This is usually done when a job is >2.5 hour drive one-way.
