Pool Maintenance Technician


Wanted: Pool Maintenance Technician. The ideal candidate will have a four year degree in chemistry, a mechanical engineering minor would be a plus, must have lettered in a college sport, and swimming skills are mandatory.

The job of pool maintenance technician is more invigorating than one might imagine. The applicant must possess a smoking body. After all, he is hired to clean the pool and be eye candy for the homemaker who is confined at home all day long. The preferred uniform for the pool maintenance technician is a Speedo, as it creates less mess in the house when he goes inside to get paid.

Day after day, the pool maintenance technician must check the pool’s chemistry that includes the levels of the acid and chlorine. If the levels aren’t just right adding chlorine or acid is necessary. Next, the pool maintenance technician must dive into the pool in order to retrieve the leaf baskets that have become full of dead insects, leaves, and twigs. Keep in mind, getting to the basket requires some endurance, and bulging biceps, as these baskets can be heavy.

Since the pool maintenance technician is already in the pool, he needs to maneuver around the water in order to get the leaves out of the pool that didn’t quite make it into the baskets. They may be stuck to the walls or unattractively floating on the surface.

Once the pool maintenance technician hops out of the pool, using his impeccable upper body strength to hoist himself out, he must lift the pool sweep out of the water to check that no rocks have been caught in the motor. Rocks in the motor can cause serious damage to the sweep which can be costly. Once the pool sweep has been cleaned out, serious six-pack abs and muscular arms are necessary to submerge the sweep back into the water; all the while, toned calves are a must to keep the pool maintenance technician stationary on the deck.

This is a hard job. Not only is the pool maintenance technician cleaning the pool, he is working in the blazing sun, which means he should possess an amazing tan. Since the uniform requirement is a Speedo, there will be minimal tan lines. The homeowner will personally supervise every move the pool maintenance technician makes.

Pool repairs are not part of the job description. The pool maintenance technician is expected to work Monday through Friday, rain or shine, and must spend a minimum of an hour between 9 AM and 4 PM maintaining the pool. This job requires serious levels of attention to detail, good communication skills with the homeowner, and a pleasant personality. Salary is negotiable, and three references are required upon interview. Equipment and supplies will be provided.
