Job description

About us

Ballarat Plumbing is a family-run business with a crew of 14, working on new homes and maintenance across the Ballarat region. We’re busy, we’re growing, and we care about doing the job right the first time.

The role

We’re putting on a 1st Year Apprentice to start as soon as possible. You’ll work alongside licensed plumbers and senior apprentices every day, and across your apprenticeship you’ll cover drainage, rough-ins, fit-offs, roofing, gas and maintenance. Because we do both new builds and service work, you’ll come out the other side a proper all-round plumber.

About you

You don’t need experience, but you do need the right attitude:

• You turn up on time, every day, ready to work
• You listen, ask questions and want to get better
• You’re happy working outdoors and getting your hands dirty
• You take pride in doing things properly and safely
• You have a driver’s licence, or you’re working towards one

A pre-apprenticeship or some time on site is a bonus. School leavers and mature age applicants are both welcome.

What’s in it for you

• A full apprenticeship with trade school supported
• Consistent work all year round
• Training from experienced tradesmen who’ll actually teach you
• Real room to move up as the business grows
• A good crew that looks after its own
