Description

Description DASMEN Residential is hiring an in-house plumbing leader to cover three multifamily communities in Columbia, SC (Samara East, Endora East, and Dira East). This role is focused on eliminating repeat slab leaks, service-line failures, pressure issues, and drain main breakdowns—not just responding to in-unit maintenance calls.

Core Responsibilities (Root-Cause Focused) A) Stop Repeat Leaks & Stabilize Water Systems Investigate and resolve recurring slab leaks, service line breaks, and low-pressure events. Diagnose failures at the building and corridor level, not just unit-by-unit. Build a trouble-building map (Samara 11/14/3, Endora slab cluster, Dira C/F corridor) and maintain it. B) Manage Underground Infrastructure Like Capital Projects Identify when to cap vs repair vs repipe using a standard decision framework. Coordinate building shutdowns, valve strategies, and tenant sequencing. Supervise excavations, reroutes, repipes, and restorations. Ensure all work is pressure-tested, documented, and compliant. C) Vendor Oversight & Accountability • Direct and audit third-party plumbing vendors (leak detection, trenchless repipe, jetting). • Require “before/after” evidence: pressure readings camera videos repair photos warranty documentation • Call vendors back for repeat failures and enforce workmanship accountability. D) Preventative Program Implementation • Schedule and oversee: PRV checks and pressure stabilization drain jetting cycles on high-risk buildings camera inspections of mains and laterals meter-based water loss monitoring • Implement smart monitoring/shutoff strategy in the most problematic corridors. E) Reporting for Leadership & Lenders • Produce monthly infrastructure reporting: repeat leaks by building emergency response count water loss events repair vs capital recommendations • Support lender reporting with formal summaries and remediation status. Requirements Required Qualifications Valid plumbing certification/license (state required). Must have strong experience in multifamily plumbing systems (not just residential service work) Experience with slab leaks required Proven experience as a plumber, preferably in multi-family residential or commercial settings. Strong knowledge of plumbing systems, fixtures, and code requirements. Ability to read blueprints, diagrams, and work orders. Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
