Immediate Start Licensed Plumber / Plumbing Technician
Storm Damage Assessments | Roof Inspections | Make-Safe Repairs | Insurance Reporting
Permanent Role | Brisbane North & Sunshine Coast
A respected, family-run plumbing company is seeking a Licensed Plumber to take the lead on post-storm damage assessments, roof inspections, urgent make-safes, and temporary repairs across Brisbane's northern suburbs through to the Sunshine Coast.
This role suits a qualified plumber who is confident working at heights, skilled in assessing storm-related damage, and comfortable preparing insurance reports to support customer claims. Once insurer approvals are issued, you'll also assist in coordinating and completing the repair work.
If you want steady local work with a supportive crew and enjoy assessment and make-safe tasks as well as maintenance, this role is a strong fit.
