About Armory Plumbing
Armory Plumbing Inc. is a growing, locally owned plumbing and heating company based in Lowell, MA. We’re building a company where skilled tradesmen are respected, customers receive quality workmanship, and employees have the opportunity to grow.
We’re not a large corporation with layers of management and unnecessary company politics. Armory Plumbing is a plumber-owned and operated company, and we understand what it takes to build a career in the trades.
We’re looking for a 5th Year Apprentice Plumber who is approaching their Massachusetts Journeyman license and is ready to take the next step in their career.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants to grow into a leadership role — while still understanding that the best plumbers never stop learning.
The Position
As a 5th Year Apprentice Plumber, you’ll work directly alongside our licensed Journeyman and Master Plumbers on residential and light commercial plumbing and heating projects.
We’re looking for someone who is confident enough to lead, humble enough to learn, and dependable enough to be counted on.
You should be comfortable taking ownership of your work, helping less-experienced apprentices develop their skills, and stepping up when your licensed plumber needs support.
At the same time, you’ll be expected to work as part of a team and take direction from the licensed plumbers you're working alongside.
Our goal is to help the right person transition from apprentice to licensed plumber and eventually become someone who can lead jobs, train others, communicate with customers, and represent Armory Plumbing in the field.
What You'll Do
Work alongside licensed Journeyman and Master Plumbers on residential plumbing and heating projects
Assist with and perform plumbing installations, repairs, replacements, and troubleshooting
Install and repair piping, valves, fixtures, shutoffs, water heaters, boilers, and other plumbing equipment
Assist with boiler installations, repairs, and annual maintenance
Assist with tank and tankless water heater installations
Perform gas piping installations and repairs under appropriate supervision
Perform drain cleaning and troubleshooting
Assist with water filtration and water treatment installations
Participate in residential remodeling and renovation plumbing
Read and interpret plumbing plans, drawings, and schematics
Diagnose plumbing problems and develop practical solutions with guidance from licensed plumbers
Communicate professionally with customers and explain basic work being performed
Maintain a clean and organized jobsite
Keep tools, equipment, and materials organized and properly maintained
Help train and guide less-experienced apprentices when appropriate
Take ownership of assigned tasks and ensure they are completed correctly
Follow direction from licensed plumbers and ask questions when something is unclear
Follow Massachusetts plumbing and gas codes, including applicable 248 CMR requirements
Follow company safety procedures and maintain a professional jobsite
Participate in the seasonal on-call rotation as experience and licensing allow
The Type of Person We're Looking For
We’re not just looking for someone who has been in the trade for five years.
We’re looking for someone who acts like a future leader.
The right candidate should:
Be approaching eligibility for their Massachusetts Journeyman Plumber license
Take pride in their workmanship
Be dependable and show up ready to work
Be comfortable taking initiative without constantly being told what to do
Be willing to step up and lead when necessary
Be willing to take direction from licensed plumbers
Work well as part of a team
Be willing to teach and help less-experienced apprentices
Be willing to learn from more experienced plumbers
Have strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities
Understand that quality and doing the job correctly come before simply getting the job done
Communicate professionally with coworkers and customers
Maintain a clean, organized, and professional appearance
Have a positive attitude and willingness to improve
Understand that leadership means setting the example, not simply telling other people what to do

Your Opportunity to Grow
This position is designed for someone who doesn't want to remain an apprentice forever.
If you're approaching your Journeyman license and want to build a career with a company where hard work, leadership, and skill are recognized, this could be a great opportunity.
We want to develop people who can eventually:
Apprentice → Licensed Journeyman → Lead Plumber → Senior/Leadership Role
You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced licensed plumbers while developing the leadership, diagnostic, customer-service, and organizational skills needed to eventually run jobs yourself.
What It's Like Working at Armory
We believe good plumbers should be able to focus on doing good work, not dealing with unnecessary corporate politics.
You won't be treated like a number.
We expect our employees to be professional, accountable, willing to learn, and willing to help the people around them.
If you're a 5th year apprentice who is ready to step up, take ownership, earn your license, and become a leader in the trade, we want to hear from you.
