Job description

Good MAINTENANCE PLUMBERS don’t need babysitting. They need backing!

Collis brothers plumbing – Sydney North Shore NSW

Good maintenance plumbers don’t need babysitting. They need backing.

Every plumbing job ad seems to promise the world.

“Great culture.”
“Endless opportunities.”
“Work-life balance.”
“Best team ever.”

Then you start and realise the van is half-stocked, the schedule is chaos, no one answers the phone, and somehow every problem becomes yours.

That’s not what we’re offering.

We’re offering something much more useful: stable work, proper support, clear communication, ongoing training, and a team that values good tradespeople.

If you’re a reliable maintenance plumber who can turn up, think for yourself, solve problems, treat customers properly, and get the job done right, you’ll fit in well here.

You won’t be micromanaged.
You won’t be left to carry the chaos.
You’ll be trusted to do quality work and backed when you need it.

If you want a stable role where you’re respected, supported, and appreciated for doing the job properly, keep reading.

What’s in it for you?

• Stable, full-time work with a steady flow of maintenance jobs

• Competitive pay based on experience

• Company vehicle, phone or tablet, and uniform supplied

• Ongoing training and upskilling opportunities

• Support from the office and leadership team

• Well-organised scheduling and job systems

About the Role(s)

This is a residential and light commercial maintenance plumbing role.

• For the "Sale-and-do" position:

You’ll be attending customer sites, diagnosing issues, explaining the work clearly, giving prices upfront, and completing repairs and installations to a high standard.

You’ll need to be confident working independently, but you won’t be left on an island. You’ll have a team behind you, systems to work with, and training to help you keep improving.

• For the "Pure installer" position:

We also have spots on the team for plumbers who don't enjoy the customer-facing part of the job, and prefer the execution part!

You'll need to know your plumbing codes and be good at your craft (or be teachable!), understand (sometimes anticipate!) instructions and show strong work ethic (although there are no unreasonable goals or expectations here, the managers are plumbers, they understand the nature of the works!)

What You’ll Be Doing

Your work will include:

• General maintenance plumbing across residential and light commercial sites

• Tap, toilet, fixture, and pipework repairs

• Hot water repairs and replacements

• Blocked drains - Jetter + CCTV drain inspection, dig-up repairs, relining patches (training provided)

• leaks, and fault finding

• For the "Sale -and-do": presenting proposals and explaining options clearly to customers (Our Tech app spits out amazing proposal in just a few clicks from the tech, you have to see it!)

• Completing job notes, photos, and paperwork properly

• Keeping your van clean, stocked, and organised

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is a qualified plumber with maintenance experience

• Holds a current driver’s licence

• Can work independently without being chased

• Takes pride in clean, tidy workmanship

• Communicates well with customers and the team

• Turns up when they say they will

• Doesn’t cut corners

• Wants a stable, long-term role where they can keep improving

You don’t need to be perfect.

But you do need to care about doing the job properly, looking after customers, and being someone the team can rely on.

Why Join Us?

Because good plumbers shouldn’t have to choose between being paid fairly and being treated properly.

We’re not trying to sell you some fantasy version of the job. Maintenance plumbing is real work. Some days are busy. Some jobs are messy. Some customers need patience.

But what we can promise is that you’ll be backed, trained, respected, given the tools to do your job properly, and will be given opportunities to grow your knowledge and build your career internally.

We’re not looking for cowboys, passengers, or know-it-alls.

We’re looking for a solid maintenance plumber who wants stability, support, and a team that values what they bring to the table.
