Well & Pump Technician
Posted
Simcoe County and Grey County run on private wells, and Mighton’s Well Services has been the name locals call for over 60 years. We are currently looking for a licensed Well & Pump Technician to join our team. This is a field-based role with real autonomy, a 60-year reputation behind you, and the kind of varied work — drilling, pump service, water treatment, emergency calls — that keeps the trade interesting. If you are the type of technician who thrives on the thrill of a diagnostic challenge, you’ll find plenty of opportunities here to put your complex problem-solving skills to the test.
About Mighton’s Well Services
Mighton’s Well Services has been a trusted name for water well drilling and service across Simcoe County and Grey County since 1964 — over 60 years of family-owned operation. Based in Stayner, we serve 18 communities within a 50 km radius of Wasaga Beach, covering everything from new well drilling and pump installation to acid treatment, well decommissioning, and 24/7 emergency response. We hold an MECP Well Contractor Licence and perform all work to Ontario Regulation 903 standards. We know the ground in this region — from the sandy overburden near Wasaga Beach to the fractured bedrock near the Niagara Escarpment — and our clients count on us to get it right.
About the Role
A year from now, the right person in this role will have built a solid client base, established efficient service routes across Simcoe County, and become the go-to technician our customers trust by name. You’ll report directly to the company President and operate with a high degree of independence in the field — managing your day, your calls, and your quality.
What You’ll Do
- Install, service, and replace submersible and jet pumps in residential water wells
- Diagnose and repair pump controls, pressure tanks, and pressure switch systems
- Drill new wells and extend existing well casings as required
- Perform well decommissioning
- Diagnose and provide acid treatments
- Respond to emergency service calls — homeowners count on you when the water stops
- Maintain accurate job records, complete Ministry well reports, and communicate clearly with the office staff on scheduling and parts
Nice to Have
- Possession of a valid Class D driver’s licence is an asset
- Experience with well drilling equipment and new well construction
- Familiarity with common water pump brands (Grundfos, Unitra, Pompco)
- Basic electrical knowledge for pump controls, pressure switches, and variable-speed drives
- Existing knowledge of the Simcoe County service area
