What you get here
A career, not just a job.
The right shop changes everything. At Omaha Drain the system is built so good people can win — in their paychecks, their skills, and at home.
Grow your skills
Structured training and ride-alongs help newer techs grow and give experienced techs room to sharpen their craft.
Build a future
Clear paths into lead tech, install, estimating, and leadership roles so you can grow with the company.
For techs tired of the old way
Tired of broken promises from other shops?
If you've bounced between shops that burn you out, play games with pay, or push high-pressure sales scripts, you're not alone. We hear the same story from techs all the time.
- Slow days where you're sent home without pay.
- “Up or out” quotas that put sales ahead of the right repair.
- No roadmap from helper to lead or installer.
- Leadership that hasn't worked the tools in years, if ever.
How we're different
We built Omaha Drain around technicians.
Omaha Drain started as a drain shop focused on fixing problems the right way — with cameras, jetters, and real diagnostics. That mindset still drives how we hire, train, and pay.
- Leadership that still rides in trucks and understands the job.
- A written training playbook you can actually follow in the field.
- We back our techs when they slow down to diagnose instead of run-and-gun.

Team stories
What our team says.
Here's how current team members describe working at Omaha Drain.
Jeremy F.
Service Manager
“We don't just clear drains — we build careers. Omaha Drain gives you the tools and support you need to succeed, as long as you're willing to put in the work.”
Drain technician, day one
You start riding with an experienced tech, learning how we camera a line, read what we find, and explain it to a homeowner. Nobody hands you a truck and a map and wishes you luck.
Field and office, same team
Dispatch sends techs real notes, techs send back real findings, and the customer hears one consistent story. When that loop works, everybody's day gets easier.
FAQ
Hiring & career FAQs.
The questions we hear most from field and office applicants. If you're wondering something else, ask during your first call.
Do I need plumbing or drain experience to apply?
It depends on the role. Field positions like Plumber and Excavation / Sewer Installer typically require experience. Our Drain Cleaning Technician and some helper roles are built for people with mechanical aptitude who want a path into the trades — we'll train the right person.
What does training look like for new team members?
Every new hire goes through structured onboarding: ride-alongs with experienced techs, classroom-style training on safety and process, and ongoing coaching. You won't be handed a truck and sent out blind.
How does pay work — hourly, salary, or performance-based?
Most field roles use a performance-based pay structure with a guaranteed base and a clear, written pay plan. Office roles like CSR / Dispatcher are typically hourly with bonus opportunities. We'll walk through pay and benefits in detail during your interview.
What does the schedule look like?
We run full-time schedules with rotating on-call, especially for drain and emergency plumbing calls. Exact schedules depend on the position, but we do our best to balance workload and family time.
Do you run background checks and drug screening?
Yes. Because we work in people's homes, all team members must pass a background check and are subject to our drug-free workplace policy.
How soon will I hear back after applying?
Most applicants hear from us within a few business days. If we're not actively hiring for your role but think you're a strong fit, we may keep your information on file and reach out when a spot opens.
