Tired of crawling through trenches or being stuck on massive sites? This is clean, smart residential work, three days a week, where you run your own day. Built for an experienced plumber who wants to wind back the hours without winding back the money.

Done your time on the big jobs and want a bit of your week back?

This one's for the plumber who's still got plenty in the tank but doesn't want five days of it — whether you're easing off after a long run, or working around family, study or your own small jobs.

We're Buildfix — a highly specialised building repair company doing things a bit differently. We're after an experienced, switched-on tradie who wants to work independently, manage their own day, and be part of a company that respects your time.

You'll mostly be locating underground services and doing the odd plumbing fix before our repair teams get started. No trench digging, no crawling through sewers — just clean, smart work supporting small residential jobs around Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with the occasional run further out to the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba or northern NSW. (All travel expenses covered.)

If you're someone who likes being trusted to get on with it without a boss breathing down your neck — keep reading...

What's on offer

- Three days a week, set with you — pick the days that suit your life
- Full autonomy — plan your day and get the job done your way
- Company vehicle & fuel — take it home, no out-of-pocket travel
- All tools provided — including CAT4 locator, Ridgid See Snake and RAMJET gear
- Great culture — no egos, no nonsense, just a solid team
- Work variety — every job is different, and you won't be stuck on the same site for weeks




- National brand — more hours or a bigger role later if you ever want them
- Paid travel — for the occasional regional or interstate job

About the role

- Use locating equipment (CAT4 and Ridgid See Snakes) to identify and mark underground services
- Read site plans and DBYD info to safely prep each site
- Do minor plumbing tasks: fixing small leaks, clearing blockages, reconnecting pipes
- Keep an eye on underground services during our foundation repair work
- Write plumbing reports for the teams and office
- Keep your gear in valuable nick and communicate clearly with the office

Who this suits

- Experienced, qualified plumber who wants three days, not five
- Knows their way around a CAT4/Ridgid, or keen to be trained on them
- Comfortable doing basic plumbing (no rough-ins, just service work)
- Clean, professional and respectful with homeowner clients
- Likes working solo but happy to be part of a bigger team
- Holds a full driver's licence and can travel regionally, and interstate on the rare occasion
- Able to pick up an extra day now and then when the work stacks up

What this job isn't

- It's not a subcontractor role — you're on the books, part-time, with all the entitlements that come with it
- It's not a full plumbing role — just light service work around our main structural repair jobs
- It's not rigidly three days every week — the odd busy stretch may need a fourth, and we'll ask, not assume
- It's not a fit for someone who needs constant direction — we'll train you, but you'll run your own day and manage clients
