Monday-Friday | 7:00 AM-4:00 PM Why Nova Facility Solutions? At Nova Facility Solutions, we are looking for more than someone who can fix a leak or replace a valve. We need a Lead Plumber who can take ownership of the plumbing side of a large commercial government facility and become the person our technicians, project management team, and customer can depend on. Our purpose is to lead, to guide, and to deliver our people to their apex. We believe talented tradespeople should have the opportunity to master their craft, take greater responsibility, and build careers that lead somewhere. Our goal is to create an exceptional experience and build a tribe of 100 A-players. That requires people who do not wait around for someone else to solve the problem. We want professionals who see what needs to be done, communicate clearly, take ownership, and finish the work correctly. Nova's culture is built around five core values: Integrity — Do what you say you will do. Respect — Communicate professionally and deliver quality work. Teamwork — Help the people around you succeed. Growth — Keep improving your skills, judgment, and leadership. Grit — Work through difficult problems without making excuses. This position supports a large, demanding government facility where professionalism matters. You will interact with Nova's Project Manager, government supervisors, facility personnel, technicians, vendors, and subcontractors. There will be competing priorities, aging infrastructure, and situations where the answer is not obvious. We need someone with the experience and composure to say, "I'll take ownership of the plumbing side," and then follow through. This role also solves an important operational problem for Nova. Our HVAC/R technicians and plant operators should not have to constantly step away from their primary responsibilities to cover plumbing tickets. We want a dedicated plumbing professional who can organize the workload, execute repairs, stay ahead of recurring requirements, and help us build a stronger plumbing operation. Your Impact at the DLA Facility The DLA facility at Fort Belvoir is a large commercial environment with significant mechanical infrastructure and ongoing maintenance requirements. Nova receives approximately 10-15 plumbing work tickets each week , ranging from routine issues to repairs that require troubleshooting, parts coordination, documentation, and follow-up. Your responsibility is to keep that work moving. You will help protect facility operations by staying ahead of: Plumbing service tickets Small piping repairs Valves, fixtures, drains, and associated systems Backflow prevention testing and certification requirements Recurring plumbing maintenance Material and parts needs Work requiring subcontractor support Aging infrastructure that requires planning instead of constant reactionWhen you do this job well, plumbing issues stop becoming interruptions for the rest of the mechanical team. Tickets get handled faster, records stay cleaner, customers get better communication, and Nova has a stronger operation. Growth, Stability & What's Possible This is a long-term government contract with strong stability, but we do not want this position to become a dead-end site assignment.

For the right person, this can be the beginning of something much larger.

Potential career paths include:

Lead Plumber Field Captain Field Supervisor Project Manager Service Management Commercial Plumbing Leadership Helping Nova expand its plumbing division beyond this single facility We are especially interested in someone who wants to help us build plumbing as a stronger capability inside Nova. Master the facility. Take care of the customer. Help organize the other trades. Develop technicians. Build processes. Show leadership. That is how opportunity grows here. What You'll Own Take primary ownership of plumbing service tickets throughout the DLA facility and drive them from assignment through completion. Troubleshoot and repair commercial plumbing systems , including piping, valves, fixtures, drains, water systems, and related mechanical components. Manage approximately 10-15 plumbing work tickets per week while prioritizing emergencies, scheduled work, preventive maintenance, and follow-up repairs. Maintain backflow prevention requirements , including keeping testing, documentation, and certification requirements organized and current. Inspect recurring plumbing problems and identify when a short-term repair should become a larger planned solution. Coordinate parts and materials with technicians, the Project Manager, vendors, and Nova's back-office team. Provide accurate material information for purchase orders and make sure parts are available before planned repairs whenever possible. Communicate professionally with government supervisors and facility end users regarding access, work status, findings, and next steps. Support Nova's service desk and Project Manager with accurate ticket notes, repair documentation, parts requirements, and follow-up needs. Coordinate subcontractors when specialized plumbing work exceeds internal capabilities or contract scope. Help build recurring plumbing PM tasks so preventive maintenance is planned throughout the year rather than handled only after failure. Support HVAC/R technicians and plant operators when plumbing knowledge is needed while keeping primary responsibility for plumbing work within this role. What You Need to Succeed 7+ years of commercial plumbing experience. Strong troubleshooting ability across commercial piping, valves, fixtures, drainage,and building plumbing systems. Experience working in a large commercial, industrial, institutional, military, orgovernment facility strongly preferred. Familiarity with backflow prevention testing, documentation, and certification requirements strongly preferred. Ability to work independently and take ownership without waiting for constant direction. Strong organizational skills for managing multiple open tickets, materials, follow-up work, and recurring requirements. Professional communication skills with technicians, project managers, customers, vendors, and government representatives. Ability to remain composed and productive in a demanding environment with strong personalities and competing priorities. Team-first mindset—you help HVAC/R technicians, operators, and project leadership succeed rather than working in a silo. Alignment with Nova's values of Integrity, Respect, Teamwork, Growth, and Grit. Ready to Own the Plumbing Side? If you are an experienced commercial plumber who wants more responsibility, more stability, and the opportunity to help build something beyond the next service ticket, we want to meet you. Join Nova Facility Solutions at Fort Belvoir and take ownership of a plumbing operation that needs an experienced professional to lead it.
