What We Do

We are a team of home service professionals dedicated to ensuring the peak performance of our customers’ home plumbing, water well, and heating systems. We go the extra mile for our customers and each other. For over 100 years our passion has been caring for our community.

The Big Task

The Warehouse Assistant is the operational backbone of our shop. You keep the inventory organized, the trucks stocked, the facility running clean and efficiently, and our field technicians equipped to do their best work every day. This is a role that requires you to take ownership, think ahead, and work without needing to be told what to do next.

This is not a passive role. The right person for this job sees what needs to be done and does it — they build systems, maintain standards, and take pride in the order and function of everything under their responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

Inventory & Parts Management

• Pull parts and materials for scheduled jobs daily to ensure installers and technicians start their day ready to work
• Receive deliveries, verify accuracy, and complete all receiving paperwork
• Maintain accurate warehouse inventory levels and initiate replenishment before stock runs low
• Put away returned parts from job sites promptly and correctly
• Stage materials and equipment for upcoming jobs in advance of the scheduled work date
• Truck inventory counts and replenishment to keep all service vehicles properly stocked
• Sell used vehicles, equipment, and inventory as needed to maintain a clean and organized facility.

Facility & Shop Operations

• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional shop environment at all times — this includes sweeping, organizing, trash and recycling, cleaning mats, replacing light bulbs, laundry, and general upkeep
• Maintain the yard: mowing, snow removal, ice management, and keeping the exterior presentable
• Manage scrap metal — keep sorted, break down to maximize value, and deliver to the scrap or coordinate pick-up.
• Report any facility maintenance needs promptly and follow through on resolution

Fleet & Tool Coordination

• Fleet oversight — timely vehicle inspections, fuel level checks, fuel log maintenance, truck cab and bed cleaning, tire disposal coordination
• Coordinate truck maintenance scheduling with technicians and vendors to keep all vehicles in service-ready condition
• Tool management — verify tools are checked in and out, coordinate or perform tool repairs, and maintain an organized tool room

Purchasing Assistance & Vendor Coordination

• Learn vendor relationships and assist with parts procurement
• Support pricing verification and purchase order accuracy

Team Support

• Assist Warehouse Manager in getting what they need to start their day efficiently
• Make part deliveries to and from job sites as needed
• Communicate proactively with the team when items are low, delayed, or unavailable

What We're Looking For

Technical skills can be taught. The right attitude, work ethic, and character cannot. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, communicates honestly, and brings consistency and pride to their work every day.

You will succeed in this role if you:

• Work independently without needing to be constantly directed
• Are highly organized with strong attention to detail and exceptional follow-through
• Communicate clearly and proactively with your team
• Take initiative — you see what needs to be done and do it
• Think critically and solve problems without waiting to be told how
• Are reliable, punctual, and consistent
• You are adaptable and able to prioritize work effectively
• Take pride in the quality and appearance of your work environment
• Are physically capable and comfortable working indoors and outdoors year-round
• Align with our core values: Be Positive, Be a Team Player, Be Solution Oriented, Be Your Best, Do the Right Thing

Education & Experience

• High school diploma, currently enrolled in school, or equivalent required
• 1+ year experience in a warehouse, logistics, construction, or similar operational environment preferred - but not required
• Experience in plumbing, HVAC, or a related trade is a plus — but not required
• Experience operating large vehicles, trailers, and Bobcat/forklift preferred - but not required
• Basic computer skills and comfort with spreadsheets required
• Valid Colorado driver's license required

Company Expectations

• Be dependable, punctual, and arrive ready to work with a positive attitude
• Maintain a clean and professional appearance daily
• Accurately account for inventory and company property
• Report safety, quality, or operational concerns promptly
• Complete work within the time allotted or communicate clearly when that is not possible
• Respect company property and maintain a clean, professional shop at all times
• Invest in your own growth and education
• Communicate openly with your peers, supervisor, and management
• Be flexible and understanding when customer needs or staffing require schedule adjustments
• Uphold the company's Code of Ethics at all times

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

This role is physically active. The Warehouse Assistant must be capable of:

• Lifting up to 50 pounds regularly
• Standing, walking, bending, reaching, and crouching for extended periods
• Working both indoors and outdoors in all Colorado mountain weather conditions, including cold, snow, and summer heat
• Driving on mountain roads and passes year-round
