New open opportunity officially available.

Different then the pump service postings before.​


Please read on and pass along to anyone’s friend’s family or neighbor. This could change someone’s life like it did mine if they have a good drive and want to learn. Thanks for looking.


Details- Certified Medical Sales

- Medical Gas Service Tech / Infrastructure Verifier

$27- $30 an hour starting based on general knowledge and experience in something related
(Possibly 90-100k first year because of OT and who your training with, plus bonuses)

Quick summary -
- first year apprentice training with someone daily to show you the ins and outs of patient medical gas maintenance inspections, reporting, and repairs. At the end of first year, company paid for class and proctor test to acquire 6040 cert. Pay raise after passing along with ability to work on your own now.

- next work to learn construction piping verifications and all aspects of how to quality test existing and new piping system arrangements, shutdowns and backfeeds. company paid class and test for 6030 cert. another raise and more knowledge.

Key points and background-

-basic tool knowledge and recognition of what to use and when, mechanical electrical plumbing general knowledge are a plus but can have minimal understanding, just helps you progress easier. The ability to look at something and see a solution or way to disassemble and reassemble. (biggest plus and helps you advance faster)

- must be quick on their feet and recognize problem solving solutions after training and understand how to finesse or smooth over a situation with good communication and understanding of the task. We communicate with many nurses and staff that have no idea what we do and they need to feel comfortable around what we are doing in mostly occupied patient rooms.
Just understand that we directly deal with patient safety and life. We are the final line inspections to avoid project mistakes that could seriously injure a patient if the wrong medical gases are distributed to the piping system leading to the patient connections.

- good memory of course and willing to ask questions and take hard criticism because we are dealing with people safety

- we are home based shop in murrieta, our work is 99% inside the facilities with lots of walking with a repetitive testing procedure while inspecting existing connections in rooms.

- someone who lives in the immediate nearby towns would benefit with less of a drive to the shop. Murrieta, temecula, lake elsinore, menifee, hemet etc. Helps to be close for our 24hr service windows we provide.

- early 20s to 30s looking for a secure long run career
- shows up on time and is available to wake up early and ok with an average start time of 330am.

- average days are daily overtime from 10hr to 12hr days with many longer days, 1.5x after 8hrs, double after 12hr, saturdays 1.5x 4hour minimum, sunday double time 4hour minimum also. Paid drive time around 4-5 hours a day on the road and maybe 5-6hrs of actual work if working 10-12 hour day.
- most holidays, 2 weeks pto.
- semi annual bonuses
- 50% medical coverage
- 401k profit share kinda deal after i think second year. Fully vested after 5year
-6 figure potential within the first year as your paired up with a lead and most of us do OT everyday so you get that as well riding along just observing and learning
- consistent raises as time goes as you progress

Cant think of to many more details but it is a great company with a lot of future security. Basically recession proof career.

I average 40k miles a year so a clean record and safe driver is needed as well.
Our area covers El Centro to Santa Barbara, out to Bakersfield etc.

Please reach out with questions and we can work on an interview

I will post again some work example photos.
 
This is a great niche field and awesome work to be into. I have installed these systems for the past 30 years and they are very complicated and codes have to be followed exactly when assembling.

I have always thought of doing something like this parttime when i retire.

The Medical industry is going nowhere and AI cant replace an installation inspector.

A man who knows!! Its very niche and needs to be respected by people who care to do it right for sure. Funny i still have a tough time explaining to people what it is we do while in casual conversation like meeting other dads at my kids school functions etc haha

Actually sad to see the newer 6010 installers/brazers these days are really slacking and having a tough time grasping the full circle of the project. So we need to be on our game and help out way more then we should but end results have to be flawless!

What are some stuff you have worked on? I am always interested chatting with people who actually know some about it.
 
my plumber buddies hated that the install stuck to their personal license and not the company

From complete systems in a veterinarian training hospital with 96 ceiling columns, 7 surgery rooms and 35 patient rooms. This one was a 2 year project i ran all the plumbing system and Med Gas from installing to startup of the equipment with the Beacon Medaes reps. Another one was a 4 story Mayo hospital expansion with new source equipment to tie ins on the existing systems. Lots of tenant improvements on small medical centers for added patients rooms to upgrading the nasty vacuum system, yeah that gross shit don't stay inside the canister hung on the wall. Lots and lots of late night Medgas shut down and tie ins. Chasing small leaks on janky factory assemblies with chitty hoses and effed up seals and threads.

We chased a leak for almost a week trying all kinds of methods from soaps, snoop, ultra sonic microphones.... Just to find out it was a cracked flex hose that only leaked when the ceiling column was in the up position.

Had another NICU project that the drywallers pulled the cardboard out of our wall outlets and we had to spend hours cleaning them out and re-tapping the threads.

Lots of Medgas stories.

The installer issues are Definity there, some are good and some struggle. Through the union we have training classes and certifications on top of the NFPA and 6010 certs

Yep your stories sounds like the everday life i have seen and heard! Vacuum is by far the nastiest thing out there. When i am the on site IOR or Verifier i will never agree to nitrogen purging any existing vacuum piping. To have any kind of that biohazard particulate blowing out at or near anyone is a no go for me.

Definetely had my fair share of those pesky leaks in articulating booms and columns. We have worked with beacon, allied, ohio, busch etc pretty much all. We are the west coast rep for Amico and Pattons medical we do startbups and warranty work along with sales.
None of our techs have a 6010 and as a company and code we stay away from any possibility of things being questioned about verifying your own work.
