Experienced Commercial Pool Service Technician

Blue Water Pools
Wappingers Falls, NY
$70,000–$100,000 per year | Salaried | Seasonal schedule

Blue Water Pools is seeking an experienced Commercial Pool Service Technician to join our team. This is a year-round salaried position with a busy peak season and reduced winter schedule. In summer, expect longer days and occasional weekend emergency/on-call availability. During the slower winter months, availability for at least three scheduled days per week is required, and PTO is generally scheduled during this off-season period.

This is a commercial-pool role—not a residential pool route position. We are looking for a skilled professional who can independently service, repair, build, renovate, and maintain commercial pool systems.

Responsibilities

• Service, inspect, clean, and maintain commercial pools and their mechanical systems.
• Test and balance water chemistry; safely handle, store, and transport pool chemicals.
• Diagnose and repair commercial pumps, filters, heaters, chemical feeders, salt systems, automation, lighting, valves, plumbing, leaks, and related equipment.
• Perform pool openings, closings, winterization, start-ups, and seasonal maintenance.
• Install and upgrade commercial pool equipment, equipment pads, plumbing, automation, and related systems.
• Support commercial pool construction, renovations, equipment installations, and repair projects.
• Maintain accurate service reports, work orders, photos, and inventory records using a mobile device.
• Communicate professionally with property managers, facility staff, and customers about findings, repairs, and recommendations.
• Maintain company vehicles, tools, equipment, and work areas in a clean and professional condition.
• Follow all commercial-pool safety procedures, chemical-handling practices, and applicable local health and safety regulations.
• Respond to urgent customer issues and participate in an on-call rotation for occasional weekend emergencies.

Required Qualifications

• CSP certification is strongly preferred.
• Candidates without CSP certification must have at least 5 years of hands-on commercial pool experience in service, repair, construction, renovation, or a closely related field.
• Applicants whose experience is limited to residential pools are not a fit for this position.
• Strong knowledge of commercial pool water chemistry, testing, balancing, chemical feeders, and chemical safety.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and repair commercial pool equipment, circulation systems, and plumbing.
• Experience with commercial pumps, filters, heaters, saltwater systems, automation, lighting, valves, and leak-related repairs.
• Working knowledge of commercial pool electrical equipment, including control panels, automation systems, lighting, pumps, and heaters; able to identify electrical issues and complete permitted repairs safely.
• Valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record and the ability to safely operate a company vehicle.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize a service route, and communicate professionally with customers and teammates.
• Comfortable using a smartphone or tablet for work orders, photos, scheduling, and communication.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Reliable attendance and flexibility to work longer days during the busy summer season.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to regularly lift and carry heavy equipment, chemicals, tools, and supplies; up to 75 pounds may be required.
• Ability to work outdoors in heat, humidity, rain, and other seasonal conditions.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, kneel, climb, and work around commercial pool equipment and construction areas.
• Ability to safely work with tools, chemicals, and commercial pool equipment.

Compensation & Benefits

• Annual salary of $70,000–$100,000, based on experience and qualifications.
• Year-round salaried position with a seasonal schedule.
• Reduced winter schedule with a minimum availability of three days per week.
• Paid time off (PTO), generally scheduled during the slower winter/off-season months, subject to business needs.
• Company phone.
• This position offers a clear opportunity for advancement into a supervisory or management role as Blue Water Pools continues to grow, based on performance, leadership ability, and business needs.
