Who We're Looking For
n
We aren't necessarily looking for someone who has already spent years sitting behind a desk as an Operations Manager.
n
We're looking for an experienced plumber who knows how to run jobs, lead people and solve problems and is ready to progress into management.
n
Ideally, you will have:
n
n
- NSW Plumbing Licence & relevant plumbing qualifications. (Cert 4 preferred)

n
Experience in maintenance, commercial plumbing, civil works, construction supervision or project management would be highly regarded.
n
This role would suit an experienced plumber who is beginning to think about the next stage of their career.
n
You may already be a Leading Hand, Supervisor, Foreman or Senior Plumber and want to move into management without immediately stepping completely away from the tools.

We're looking for someone who can become a key part of Cervini Bros Plumbing — someone who takes ownership, supports the team and helps us build a more efficient and professional operation as the company continues to grow.
