Sewer Surgeon is a well-established plumbing company based in Strathfield South, NSW, specialising in plumbing maintenance, blocked drains, CCTV inspections, high-pressure water jetting, drainage repairs and pipe relining.
We’re looking for a 3rd Year Plumbing Apprentice who has developed solid experience in construction plumbing but is now looking to broaden their skills and move into maintenance, drainage and specialist plumbing work.
If you’re confident with rough-ins and stacks but want to become a more well-rounded plumber, this could be a great next step.
About the Role
This is a full-time position where you’ll work alongside experienced plumbers across a wide range of residential, commercial and strata maintenance work.
We’re not expecting you to already know everything about drainage.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in:
- General plumbing maintenance and repairs

- High-pressure water jetting
- CCTV drain inspections
- Sewer and stormwater repairs
- Excavation and drainage installations
- Pipe relining and trenchless pipe rehabilitation
- Robotic cutting and specialised drainage equipment
- Working directly with customers, strata managers and property managers
The goal is to help you become a plumber who can confidently diagnose a problem, understand why it has happened and know how to fix it properly.
