About Offshore Launch

Offshore Launch is a staffing agency that specializes in helping small business owners scale their operations with the top 1% of global remote talent. We are a people-centered agency with a passion for leaving every person and business in a better position than we found them.

Why Join Offshore Launch?

  • Impact the growth and success of small and medium-sized businesses.
  • Work in a people-first, remote environment that values growth and ongoing development.
  • Access comprehensive benefits that include HMO, PTO, professional development, and an overall emphasis on teamwork and collaboration.
  • Contribute to a culture that values partnership, service, and excellence.

 

About the Role:

As a remote Project Manager / Quality Control Specialist, you’ll manage a high volume of residential work orders daily, overseeing licensed plumbers in the field. You’ll review diagnoses, validate scopes, and ensure quality control before work moves forward. You’ll act as the technical gatekeeper—flagging issues, clarifying scope, and pushing back on anything that doesn’t meet company standards.
 
You won’t be scheduling, dispatching, or talking to residents. Your job is to speak contractor-to-contractor—to challenge bids, clarify repairs, and keep jobs moving with speed and precision.
 
This role is ideal for a licensed or journeyman-level plumber who’s ready to step out of the field and grow into a tech-enabled operations role.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Manage and review a large volume of plumbing work orders per day across multiple job sites (all residential) 
  • Evaluate contractor reports, photos, and videos to verify diagnoses and scope accuracy
  • Spot incomplete or inaccurate bids and work with contractors to resolve before escalation
  • Provide technical direction to contractors—escalating quality concerns as needed
  • Ensure all relevant data, documentation, and system entries are accurate and complete
  • Act as the final internal QA before work is approved, scheduled, or billed
  • Use internal platforms and documentation tools to manage day-to-day activity efficiently
  • Collaborate with internal operations team to troubleshoot delays, material gaps, or job issues
     

 

Requirements:

  • 3–5+ years of hands-on plumbing experience (residential strongly preferred)
  • Strong diagnostic instincts and ability to assess work from photos, videos, and contractor notes
  • Familiarity with common issues in residential plumbing (leaks, clogs, water heater failures, etc.)
  • Ability to spot sloppy fieldwork, challenge assumptions, and steer contractors to correct scope
  • Clear, confident verbal communication—you need to push back with precision, not aggression
  • Willingness to trade fieldwork for full-time remote employment
  • Fast learning curve with new software—this role relies on a custom internal platform, not off-the-shelf tools
  • Organized and comfortable managing dozens of open work orders simultaneously
  • Fluency in English (verbal and written); clear and concise communicator

 

 

Compensation & Benefits (to be provided by Offshore Launch):

  • $800–$1500/month, depending on experience
  • Annual bonus up to $2,250 (including $500 at 90-days)
  • 13th month pay
  • HMO coverage (including dependents)
  • 16 Days of PTO
  • Annual continuing education budget
