Build a Career, Not Just a Job
Do you like people — talking with them, earning their trust, helping them make a good decision — but hate the idea of "selling"? Are you hands-on, mechanically curious, and happiest when you’re outdoors solving a real problem instead of sitting behind a desk?
At Van Delden Wastewater Systems, our Aerobic Technicians are the face of our company. You’ll spend your day one-on-one with homeowners, diagnosing their septic system, explaining what’s going on in plain language, and recommending the right fix. It’s relationship-driven work — the instincts of a great salesperson, without a sales pitch, a quota, or commission breathing down your neck. You do the job right, you take care of the customer, and you’re rewarded for it.
This isn’t a stepping-stone gig. It’s a real trade, with real earning potential and a clear path forward, at a family-owned company that’s been trusted across San Antonio, Boerne, and the Texas Hill Country for over 89 years.
Get Paid What You’re Worth
• $50,000–$85,000 per year, depending on hours worked and incentives earned
• Starting pay: $24/hour, plus overtime (techs average 45-50 hours/week)
• Weekly pay with direct deposit
• Individual performance incentives — no commission, no pressure to "close." You’re recognized on your own merits across the things that actually matter: how you treat customers, the quality of your work, and the revenue you help generate for the company
• After your first 3 months, you’re eligible for incentive pay on top of your hourly rate.
• Here’s what that actually looks like for our techs today:
• Entry-level (first 3 months, base pay only): ~$4,200/month
• Mid-level tech (with incentives): ~$6,200/month
• Our best techs (with incentives): ~$7,100/month — that’s over $85,000/year
• There’s no ceiling on it. These are real numbers from real techs on our team today — not a cap. The better you get, the more you earn. The only limit is you.
We’re Invested in You
• Company van provided for work hours
• Paid training to get you started, plus paid, ongoing one-on-one coaching to help you hit your goals — we want you to succeed, and we put our money behind it
• We pay for your TCEQ license — no experience required to start learning
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Supplemental insurance options
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Paid holidays after 6 months
• 1 week of PTO after 1 year
Family Culture, Not Corporate Churn
We treat our customers — and our employees — like family. You’re not a number here. You’re part of a team that values integrity, hard work, and looking out for each other.

Think of yourself as part detective, part mechanic, part trusted advisor:
• Investigate and diagnose septic system issues using your electrical and mechanical know-how
• Sit down with customers, explain what you found, and walk them through their options honestly — no upselling, just straight answers
• Make the repair, using hands-on tools and troubleshooting skills
• Leave every system running safely and efficiently
• Build the kind of trust that turns a one-time customer into a lifelong one
You’ll get a little dirty. You’ll also go home every day knowing you kept families safe and healthy — and that the way you treated a customer today is directly tied to how you’re rewarded tomorrow.
Monday – Friday, starting at 7:30 AM. End time varies by day depending on the workload — some days you’ll wrap up a bit early, some a bit later, but 5:00 PM is the average.
On-call rotation is light — on average, one weekend a month, with 1–3 phone calls and about one actual site visit a year.
• You genuinely like talking with people and want them to trust you — without the pressure of selling to them
• 2+ years of electrical experience
• Dependable, reliable, and hardworking
• A clean, presentable appearance — you’re representing our company at every customer’s home
• Comfortable with an iPad and other electronic devices
• Valid driver’s license (3+ years) and reliable transportation
• Able to pass a background check and drug test
