Director of Plumbing Standards – Own, Define, and Enforce How Plumbing Is Installed Company‑Wide

Lexington, South Carolina

 Plumbing Solutions, LLC is a fast‑growing, family‑owned company with a strong commitment to excellence, our employees, and the customers we serve. We are hiring a Director of Plumbing Standards to become the single source of truth for how plumbing is installed across all branches.

This is not a desk job. This is a field‑driven, high‑authority technical leadership role for someone who knows plumbing installation at a deep level and isn’t afraid to enforce standards, stop work, and eliminate variation across the company.

If you want to shape how plumbing is installed across an entire organization — and ensure every branch installs the same way, every time — this role is for you.

Does This Sound Like You?

  • Plumbing experience, especially in new construction
  • You know installation methods deeply — not just code, but how work should actually be done
  • You’re respected by strong installers because you’ve done the work yourself
  • You’re comfortable stopping work, correcting issues, and holding the line
  • You thrive in the field and want to eliminate inconsistency across branches
  • You want to be the final authority on installation standards, methods, and conflicts
  • You’re practical, decisive, and committed to doing things the right way

The Experience We’d Love To See:

  • 8–15+ years plumbing experience (new construction required)
  • Proven ability to enforce standards in the field
  • Deep knowledge of installation methods (slab, sewer, rough‑in, trim, service, warranty)
  • Strong presence and credibility with field teams
  • Ability to confront issues directly and in real time
  • Plumbing License (or willingness to obtain)
  • Experience training or coaching field teams
  • Experience developing installation standards or SOPs

What You’ll Get To Do:

Define Installation Standards

  • Build and maintain all installation methods across slab, sewer, rough‑in, trim, service, and warranty
  • Standardize materials, layouts, and methods across all branches
  • Create clear, field‑usable standards that installers can follow
  • Ensure all standards comply with IPC, IBC, and company requirements

Enforce Standards in the Field

  • Conduct active field audits across all branches
  • Stop work immediately when standards are not met
  • Require corrections before work continues
  • Ensure no incorrect work proceeds to cover‑up
  • Work with leadership to ensure training is happening effectively

Own the Quality Inspector (QI) System

  • Define QI checklists and pass/fail criteria
  • Train QIs to act as gatekeepers, not observers
  • Audit QI consistency, accuracy, and catch‑rate

Solve Field Problems (Final Authority)

  • Be the final escalation point for installation questions, method conflicts, and code vs. standard decisions
  • Provide immediate, clear direction to field teams
  • Communicate effectively with inspectors, contractors, and partners
  • Remove the CEO from technical decision‑making

Partner with the Training Systems Manager

  • Define what must be trained
  • Provide updated content and installation methods
  • Validate training effectiveness in the field
  • Close gaps between training and execution

Ensure Cross‑Branch Consistency

  • Ensure all branches install the same way
  • Eliminate “this branch does it differently”
  • Standardize best practices company‑wide

Why You Want This Job:

  • You will own the installation standards for the entire company
  • You will have full authority to stop work and enforce corrections
  • You will eliminate variation and raise quality across all branches
  • You will shape how plumbing is installed for years to come
  • You will directly reduce defects, callbacks, and rework
  • You will be part of a fast‑growing company with a strong reputation
  • You will have the opportunity to grow into higher executive leadership

This Position Offers:

  • A fast-growing industry with a rapidly expanding company
  • Family friendly atmosphere
  • Monday-Friday work week with weekly pay
  • Health, prescription drug, vision, and dental insurance available
  • Short- and long-term disability as well as life insurance available
  • Matching 401(k) with profit bonus opportunities and potential yearly holiday bonus
  • Great Work-Life balance and Employee Assistance Program offered
