Who are we looking for?

Plumbers

We want to hear from qualified or experienced Plumbers who can work confidently as part of a crew.

NZ-recognised qualifications are great, but overseas-qualified Plumbers are also encouraged to apply.

Plumbing Trade Assistants
You don’t need to be a qualified Plumber to get in touch.

If you’ve worked alongside Plumbers, have practical plumbing or construction experience, and are confident using tools, there could be an opportunity for you too.

For both, we’re looking for people who:
  • Turn up reliably and are ready to work
  • Have good practical skills
  • Take pride in doing a job properly
  • Work well as part of a crew
  • Take health and safety seriously
  • Can pass a pre-employment drug test
  • Reliable transport is advantageous.
