We’re Looking for a Qualified Plumber or 3rd/4th Year Apprentice to Join the Recovery Plumbing Family

If you’re a qualified plumber or a 3rd or 4th year apprentice looking for a role where you’re actually valued, paid properly, and given real opportunities to grow — read on. This one might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Recovery Plumbing is a family-owned Brisbane plumbing business based in Salisbury, servicing homes and businesses across Brisbane’s Southside. With 15+ years of experience, 100+ five-star Google reviews, and more than 5,000 completed jobs, we’ve built one of the best reputations on the southside — and we’re growing.

We’re looking for the right person to grow with us. Someone who takes pride in their work, treats customers with respect, and wants to be part of a team that actually has their back.

What the Role Looks Like

This isn’t a revolving-door tradie job where you’re a number on a roster. At Recovery Plumbing, you’ll work directly alongside Robbie on a wide variety of residential plumbing work across Brisbane Southside — stormwater drainage, blocked drains, hot water systems, gas fitting, and general plumbing across some of Brisbane’s best established suburbs.

Every day is different. You’ll be working on real, varied jobs in real Brisbane homes — not spending six months on a single construction site doing the same task on repeat.

The role is open to:

• Qualified plumbers with residential experience
• 3rd or 4th year apprentices ready to step up

Why Work With Recovery Plumbing?

We know there are plenty of plumbing businesses hiring in Brisbane right now. Here’s what makes Recovery Plumbing different:

Ute, phone and uniform provided Everything you need to do the job properly is taken care of from day one. Show up, do great work, go home.

$1,500 – $2,500 performance bonus available every month This isn’t a vague incentive buried in a contract. We pay monthly performance bonuses of between $1,500 and $2,500 to team members who are delivering great work and great customer service. The better you perform, the more you earn — simple as that.

Flexible work arrangements We offer an optional 4-day work week for team members who want it. We also offer optional overtime for those who want to maximise their earnings. You tell us what works for you and we’ll do our best to make it work.

A team culture built on respect No yelling, no toxic nonsense, no being spoken down to. Recovery Plumbing is a business built on treating customers and team members with the same respect. Robbie works on the tools alongside the team — this isn’t a management-from-the-office operation.

Real growth opportunities As Recovery Plumbing grows, the people in the team grow with it. Whether that means taking on more responsibility, leading jobs independently, or building toward your own future in the trade — we’re genuinely invested in the people who work with us.

Quality work you’ll be proud of We don’t cut corners. We use quality materials, take our time to do the job properly, and our reviews reflect it. If you take pride in your work, you’ll fit right in.

Know a Great Plumber? There’s Money in It for You.

We’re offering a $2,000 finder’s fee for anyone who refers a plumber or apprentice who successfully joins the Recovery Plumbing team — plus the new team member receives a $2,000 sign-on bonus when they come on board.

That’s $4,000 on the table for the right referral.

If you know a qualified plumber or 3rd/4th year apprentice who’d be a great fit — send them this post, tag them below, or forward it directly. If they join the team, you get paid.

What We’re Looking For

We’re not after the perfect resume. We’re after the right person. Here’s what matters to us:

• Licensed Queensland plumber or 3rd/4th year apprentice currently completing their trade
• Residential plumbing experience — particularly drainage, hot water, and general maintenance
• A genuine work ethic and pride in the quality of your work
• Someone who communicates well with customers and leaves a job site clean
• Brisbane-based or willing to work across Brisbane Southside daily
• A current driver’s licence

If you tick most of these boxes and think you’d be a great fit for the Recovery Plumbing team — we want to hear from you. Even if you’re not actively looking right now, a conversation costs nothing.
