Trade Assistant — Shower Screen Installation (Northside Truck)
Hydro Seal Shower Systems is looking for a reliable, hardworking trade assistant to join our northside installation team. You'll be out on residential sites across South East Queensland every day, working alongside an experienced head installer and learning the shower screen trade from the ground up.
Learn a Trade Without the Apprenticeship
Think of this as a fast-track into the shower screen trade — hands-on training every day from an experienced head installer, on real jobs, from your first week.
The difference is you're not on apprentice wages. There's no TAFE, no four-year contract, and no student pay rate. You're paid a full adult trade assistant rate from day one and you go up as your skills go up. We'll also fund your MR licence along the way.
Within twelve months the right person is measuring, setting out, and running installs with confidence. That's who we're looking for — someone who wants to build a career in this trade, not just fill in for a few months.
About Us
We're Hydro Seal Shower Systems, a Brisbane-based shower screen manufacturer and installer. We make our own product, run our own trucks, and install across SEQ every day. We're a growing business that does things properly and looks after the people who work with us.
