We’re Hiring!


Teamwork makes our team work

What are we looking for when recruiting our team?

Our business is growing, and this means our team is expanding. Could you be the next Tradesman or Apprentice Plumber to join us? The number one thing is ‘Attitude’. We are looking for positive ‘can-do’ attitudes...

Do you get a big sense of satisfaction when you’ve completed a job that looks perfect? And then drive away from the job knowing the customer has had a great experience? We’re searching for people who are ‘switched on’ and take an enormous amount of pride in the work they do. It’s also second nature for you to ‘do the right thing’ and treat the customer’s home like your own... with respect.

Can you listen and follow a detailed procedure? We are building a strong list of procedures to make the job easier for you and ensure the customer’s outcomes are streamlined towards efficiency, quality, and service. This is to keep you safe on the job and ensure consistent quality control across all jobs across the company.

Are you willing and eager to learn? To progress and challenge yourself? and to share your strong knowledge with the rest of the team? ‘We own our actions’. If we make a mistake, we take responsibility for our actions and view it as a valuable learning opportunity. This continuous development is how we keep growing.

Are you humble? We listen to and support each other within the team to achieve results. We celebrate the wins together, as we are One Team.

Each of us, from Admin and apprentices to our Qualified Tradespeople, plays a crucial role in our success. We’re all in it together and we genuinely enjoy what we do.

If the above resonates with you and you would like to apply for a position or put your details on file for future reference, we welcome you to do so.
