Job description

Licensed Plumber - Technical Trainer (Caroma)

Get off the tools. Stay in the trade. Share what you know.

Ready for a change from being on the tools every day, but don't want to leave the plumbing industry behind?

We're looking for an experienced licensed plumber to join us as a Technical Trainer.

Your plumbing knowledge is the most important thing. If you've trained apprentices, coached other plumbers, run toolbox talks or simply enjoy showing others how things should be done, we'd love to hear from you.

And if you haven't been a professional trainer before? That's OK. We can teach you how to train. You bring the plumbing expertise.

Based at our Prestons Centre of Excellence, you'll use your trade experience to help our teams and customers better understand plumbing products, installation, technical requirements and practical solutions.

This isn't a job where you'll sit behind a desk all day. You'll be running practical training, demonstrating products, getting out in the field, meeting customers and helping people build their technical knowledge and confidence.

What you'll be doing

• Running practical, hands-on plumbing and product training
• Sharing your technical knowledge with sales teams, customers and others in the industry
• Demonstrating products, installation techniques and plumbing solutions
• Breaking down technical information so it's simple and easy to understand
• Coaching team members in the field and supporting customer visits
• Working with our Product, Quality and R&D teams to stay across new products and technical information
• Helping us continually improve our technical training
• Building relationships with plumbers, merchants and industry partners
• Supporting our purpose-built training facility at Prestons
• Travelling occasionally within Australia and New Zealand to deliver training

What we're really looking for

First and foremost, you know plumbing.

You'll ideally have:

• A plumbing trade qualification and strong hands-on industry experience
• Solid technical knowledge of plumbing products, systems and installation
• The confidence to talk to other tradies and "speak plumber"
• A practical, down-to-earth communication style
• An interest in teaching, coaching or helping others develop
• Confidence talking to groups of people
• Strong people skills and the ability to build relationships
• A willingness to travel occasionally

Never been a trainer? Don't let that stop you.

You do not need to come from a learning or professional training background.

Maybe you've trained apprentices, supervised a crew, shown new starters the ropes, delivered toolbox talks, helped other plumbers solve problems or you're simply the person people call when they need technical advice.

We can help you build the training skills. What we need from you is the plumbing knowledge and credibility.

If you already have a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, that's great, but it's not essential.

Ready to get off the tools without leaving the trade?

This could be the opportunity to take everything you've learnt throughout your plumbing career and use it in a completely different way.

Put down the tools, share what you know, and help develop the next level of technical capability across our industry.
