ROOF PLUMBING APPRENTICE

Start or Continue Your Trade With a Team Built on Respect, Support & Quality

At Need Trade Services, our culture is our biggest strength. We're a multi-trade team built on collaboration, trust, communication and real respect.

We welcome applications from all types of apprentices, including:

• People starting out: no roof plumbing experience is needed. If you're keen to learn, reliable and ready to work hard, we'll teach you the rest.
• Current apprentices in any year: if you've already started your roof plumbing apprenticeship and want to finish it with a supportive team, we'll pick up from where you are in your training.
• School-based apprentices: start your trade while you finish school.
• Mature-age apprentices: whether you're changing careers or coming from another trade, it's never too late to start.

You'll learn on the job alongside experienced roof plumbers who want to see you succeed. Our business support and coordination team handles the scheduling and admin, so you can focus on building your skills.

If you want to learn a trade properly, with a team that takes pride in its work and looks after each other, this is the place to start.

THE ROLE

Working alongside our qualified roof plumbers, you'll learn and help with:

• Roof and gutter leak investigations
• Commercial and domestic repairs
• Flashings, gutters, downpipes and re-roofing
• Programmed and reactive maintenance, such as reseals, vents, make-safes and gutter cleaning
• Working safely at heights and following site safety procedures
• Basic job documentation using our job management system
• Preparing materials, loading vehicles and keeping tools and sites tidy
• Completing your formal trade training (TAFE or RTO) as part of your apprenticeship

As your skills grow, you'll take on more responsibility and more varied work.

ABOUT YOU

You don't need experience. We're looking for someone who:

• Is genuinely interested in a long-term career in roof plumbing
• Is comfortable working outdoors and at heights, or willing to learn
• Is reliable and punctual, and has a strong work ethic
• Listens well, asks questions and takes on feedback
• Takes safety seriously
• Has a team-first attitude and good communication
• Holds a driver's licence, or is working towards one

Any experience in labouring, construction or a related trade is a bonus, but it isn't required. We welcome apprentices of any age, background or stage of training.

WHAT YOU GET

• A full apprenticeship with paid trade training
• Hands-on mentoring from experienced roof plumbers
• A structured training plan with regular check-ins on your progress
• Monthly RDOs and a Christmas shutdown
• PPE and uniforms supplied
• Monthly toolboxes
• Strong coordination and management support
• A respectful, inclusive and supportive culture
• Real career pathways. Many of our leaders started as apprentices on the tools.

Whether you're taking your first step into a trade or looking for the right team to finish your apprenticeship, apply via SEEK today.

Remuneration will be based on relevant apprenticeship classifications and pay provisions under the applicable award, including apprentice and adult-apprentice rates where applicable.
