Plumber & Electrician Install Team - Heat Pump Hot Water

This role is for a two-person crew: one licensed plumber and one licensed electrician who already work together and want guaranteed, consistent installation work as a unit. You're hired together, rostered together, and work every job together - both trades present on every installation. If you're a plumber and sparky who trust each other's work, this is built for you.

HiTech Hotwater is an established NSW hot water specialist now expanding into Victoria. Our installs are booked across Greater Melbourne (approx. 80km radius from our Laverton North warehouse), and Victoria's gas phase-out has demand for heat pump upgrades under the VEU program running at record levels.

THE WORK

Install all-in-one (integrated) heat pump hot water systems - no refrigerant pipework involved

Replace and decommission existing gas and electric hot water systems, including gas disconnection/capping

Electrical connection of every unit - current circuits, isolators, and power points where applicable

Site inspections ahead of installations; servicing and maintenance of installed systems

The crew issues all required certificates: the plumber issues the plumbing compliance certificate, the electrician issues the Certificate of Electrical Safety (COES) - both are mandatory VEU claim evidence on every job

Obtain customer sign-off and complete all VEU/rebate documentation on the day of installation

Dispose of the removed old tank at a compliant facility - drive, drop, collect a receipt

HOW THE TEAM ENGAGEMENT WORKS

One team, one roster: you're engaged and scheduled together - both members' presence is required on every job, and the crew is on and off with the company as a single unit

Two individual subcontracts: each of you contracts and invoices under your own ABN and is paid separately

Own workmanship, own responsibility:



each tradesperson is responsible for the workmanship of their own trade carried out under their own licence

Strict trade separation - the plumber performs no electrical work; the electrician performs no plumbing work

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

The plumber:

Licensed plumbing practitioner (Building and Plumbing Commission / VBA) - Water Supply class, Licensed category (able to issue compliance certificates)

Gasfitting class - most changeovers involve gas disconnection

The electrician:

Able to issue Certificates of Electrical Safety (COES)

Both of you:

Physically fit - hot water units require safe manual handling

Strong communication skills; reliable, professional, maintenance-focused work ethic

Public liability insurance per person (highly regarded - include certificates of currency)

No separate VEU accreditation or extra training is required - if you hold the licences above, you can work under the program with us immediately. We handle program administration.
