Careers at Smelly Mel's Plumbing — join a Bay Area crew that's been at it since 1988
We're a real Bay Area crew, not a gig app: steady local work across San Francisco and the Peninsula, an in-house dispatch team, and a name that's meant something for over 35 years. We're hiring a Plumber and a Dispatcher — email your résumé to SMPNewHire@gmail.com.
A real crew, real work, a name that's lasted
Thirty-five-plus years in business doesn't happen by accident — and it doesn't happen with a revolving door, either.
Established family business since 1988
Smelly Mel's Plumbing Inc. has been family-owned and in the Bay Area for over 35 years. You're joining something that's built to last.
Steady local work

A real crew, not a gig app
You work with the same people, learn from people who've done it for decades, and have an in-house dispatch team behind you — not an algorithm.
In-house dispatch
We answer the phone 24/7 with a real person because we run our own dispatch — that's a team, and it's hiring too.
