Job Description
Ashokan is seeking senior plumbers with at least five years of experience to install 1–6” water meters and backflow devices. At Ashokan Water Meter & Backflow, you’re protecting New York City’s drinking water. We’re a family business with over 30 years in the field, and growing fast. There’s real room to move up, real support, and none of the 24/7 emergency-call lifestyle most plumbers are stuck with. We care about our staff — enough that every year we take the entire office and plumbing team on a canoe trip, because water isn’t just the job here... it’s the culture.
If you want stable hours, good people, and a chance to make a real impact on the city, we’d love to meet you.

- Experience with Fiberglass Insulation
- Experience with Booster Pump Maintenance & Troubleshooting
- Experience with Water Supply, Waste Systems and Drain Work
