Apprentice Plumbers: Learn from the Bestand Build Your Future

n

If you've started your plumbing journey and want to take it seriously, Good Hands Plumbing & Drains is where you'll sharpen your skills, gain independence, and become a plumber people can trust.

n

We're a Marrickville-based, family-run plumbing business known for integrity, teamwork, and high-quality residential work. Here, you'll work alongside experienced tradesmen who'll teach you not just how to plumb — but how to think, communicate, and grow into a confident professional.

n

You're serious about your trade — but maybe you've been:

n

n
- Treated like a labourer instead of someone who's learning.
n
- Doing the same tasks every day with no real mentoring.
n
- Rushed through jobs without being taught the why behind them.
n
- Wanting more structure, more support, and more growth
n
- Ready to work hard — but only if it actually leads somewhere.
n

n

If that sounds like you, you'll fit right in at Good Hands.

n

Meet the team.

The Good Hands Superpower:
n Real Training, Real Support

n

At Good Hands, we're not just filling gaps — we're buildingplumbers.

n

n
- Learn from senior tradies who care — patient, experienced mentors who'll show you the right way, not the quick way.
n
- Weekly on-the-job training — practical, hands-on lessons that make sense in the real world.
n
- Steady schedule — no on-call chaos or last-minute Saturday shifts.
n
- Diverse, real work — drainage, gas, fit-offs, hot water, roof repairs — you'll learn it all.
n
- Room to grow — finish your trade, get licensed, and move into quoting or running your own jobs when you're ready.
n

n

We'll back you every step of the way — with time, tools, and training that actually mean something.

n

n
- Competitive pay that grows with your skills and progress.
n
- Start in a truck or work alongside senior plumbers — we'll set you up based on experience.
n
- Full uniform kit, boots, and PPE provided.
n
- Quality tools, vehicles,



and systems that make work smoother and smarter.
n
- Supportive mentoring from experienced tradesmen who actually take the time to teach you.
n
- Weekly development sessions that build confidence and independence on the job.
n
- We want you to succeed — the goal is to get you running your own truck and jobs when you're ready.
n
- A calm, respectful team environment — no chaos, no shouting, just good people doing good work.
n

n

" I joined toward the end of my apprenticeship. It was a completely different environment to what I'd experienced before.

n

You learn how to quote and how to run jobs. That's such an important factor here, and
n most people don't get it until they're already on their own and end up winging it.
n Having that skill now is enormous.

n

Good Hands gives you training across the board—from the plumbing itself to interacting with customers and figuring out the best way to approach their needs. "

n

We're after apprentices who show the right attitude more than anything else. If you can tick these boxes, you'll do well here — for yourself and for the business.

n

n
- Minimum 6 months into your apprenticeship (Cert III underway).
n
- You do what you say you'll do — reliable, punctual, and accountable.
n
- You're happy to dig, lift, and get dirty — hard work doesn't scare you.
n
- You take feedback well and learn from it without ego.
n
- You work well in a team and look out for the people around you.
n
- You take initiative — if something needs doing, you don't wait to be told.
n
- You can be trusted to work independently for a few hours when needed.
n

n

At Valuable Hands,



experience matters — but performance matters more. Show us your effort, attitude, and skill, and you'll be recognised for it.

n

Show up with the right mindset, and we'll back you to keep progressing — wherever you want your plumbingcareer to go

n

A Day in the Life of a Good Hands Plumber

n

Start the day your way:

Hit the tools at 8 AM:

n

Most days you'll kick off on-site and wrap up around 4:30 PM. Some jobs run the full day, others are two or three smaller ones. We plan it so you've got the time to do things properly.

n

Handle what comes up:

n

When a big job or last-minute repair lands, we regroup fast and back each other up. The office team keeps communication clear so you can focus on doing great work.

n

Finish your last job, sendthrough your notes, and headhome knowing there's no on-callor constant Saturdays. A bit ofovertime happens most weeks,but it's never crazy — we keepthings calm and steady.
