From underground stormwater, sanitary and water piping systems through to pumps, valves and fittings, you'll use your trade skills to help keep the site safe, reliable and operational.

You'll work alongside other trades and operational teams in a heavy industrial workplace, responding to maintenance requirements, identifying problems and getting in to make practical repairs when they're needed.

This is a full-time permanent position, initially based at Victoria Mill in North Queensland's Herbert Region.

We're looking for a qualified Plumber who takes pride in their trade, works safely and is comfortable getting hands-on in a busy industrial environment.

You'll be practical, reliable and able to work effectively with other trades and operational teams. You'll bring good problem-solving skills, be able to identify and respond to maintenance issues, and be comfortable working across different areas of the site as priorities change.
