Septic/Site Installer Title 5 Licensed

Shield Management is hiring a full-time, in-house Septic/Site Installer to lead onsite septic and sewer line installation at High View Campground, a large-scale development project in West Brookfield, MA. This is a hands-on field role with room to grow into broader site work and, for the right candidate, a path to becoming our licensed Title 5 installer of record.

You'll take ownership of the septic and trenching work currently underway across the property — tanks, leach fields, and sewer lines serving the site — and work alongside our existing site crew and engineer of record as additional phases of the project move forward.

Core Responsibilities

• Install septic tanks, leach fields, and sewer lines to Massachusetts Title 5 standards, following approved engineering plans and DEP filings
• Operate excavation equipment for trenching, tank-setting, and related sitework
• Coordinate day-to-day with our site crew and engineer of record (McClure Engineering) to keep installs on schedule and up to code
• Prepare sites for inspection and be present for Board of Health inspections
• Maintain accurate records of completed work for permitting and closeout documentation
• Flex into general site work, trenching support, and other trades as needed between septic phases
• Once licensed, sign off on completed installs and help streamline future permitting

Qualifications

• At least one year of hands-on experience working under a licensed installer in Massachusetts (required to sit for the Title 5 Installer exam)
• Massachusetts Title 5 Installer license preferred; candidates with the required field hours who are ready to sit the exam are encouraged to apply
• Comfortable operating excavation equipment
• Track record of completed septic/sewer installs that passed inspection without rework
• Ability to work independently on-site, with strong communication back to the project team
• Own truck/tools a plus

What We Offer

• Competitive salary ($75,000–$90,000/year) plus standard payroll benefits — a stable, full-time alternative to day-rate contract work
• Full-time, dedicated placement on one project site rather than juggling multiple job sites
• Support toward licensure if you're not yet a licensed Title 5 installer
• Opportunity to grow into a lead role across future phases of the development

How to Apply

Submit your resume, license status (if applicable), and 2–3 references or addresses of past completed installs through Indeed.

Pay: $75,000.00 - $90,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
