Company Overview

At Tennessee Standard, our mission is to become the #1 plumbing home services company in the greater Knoxville area to take the power out of the hands of crooked contractors, give tradesmen the opportunity to create wealth for their families and love what they do, and be a light in the community to the glory of God. We are committed to doing it RIGHT:

Respect – treating others the way we want to be treated

Integrity – never a shade of dishonesty or deceit

Growth – intentional improvement every day

Hustle – working smarter and harder than anyone else

Tenacity – “can-do” attitude, never giving up till the job is done

Summary

Our apprenticeship program is the best way for someone with no plumbing experience to become a part of our company. Anyone who can handle a physically demanding job, is eager to learn, and shares our core values will be considered for the role. Apprentices are vital to the ongoing growth of our company. While benefiting from world-class training, they help our licensed techs move quickly through jobs. They have a powerful effect on company culture and morale, and they should strive to use that influence to improve the performance of the entire team. Apprentices that excel in the role are sponsored to take their state exam and acquire their Limited Licensed Plumber (LLP) License, unlocking a lucrative career here at Tennessee Standard as a licensed plumber.
