Are you the tradesperson who can turn their hand to almost anything?

Restore Home Modifications is looking for a highly experienced, multi-skilled tradesperson to join our growing Melbourne team. We’re not looking for someone who is simply competent in one trade.

We want an experienced all-rounder with strong skills across tiling, plastering and waterproofing, who takes pride in finishing work properly and can confidently move between different aspects of a residential modification project.

The role will initially be engaged on a subcontractor basis, with the intention of transitioning the right person into a full-time position with Restore in 2027.

About Restore Home Modifications

Restore Home Modifications specialises in modifying homes for older people and people living with disability. Our work includes accessible bathroom renovations, level-entry showers, access modifications and other residential building works designed to improve safety, independence and quality of life.

Our jobs are predominantly in occupied homes, so quality workmanship is only part of what matters.

We need tradespeople who are reliable, respectful, clean, solutions-focused and able to communicate well with clients and the broader project team.

The person we're looking for

You will have at least 15 years' trade experience, with strong demonstrated capability across tiling, plastering and waterproofing. Ideally, you're the sort of tradesperson who can walk onto a renovation, understand what needs to happen next and get on with it — while knowing when something needs to be escalated to the Builder.

Your work may include

- Wall and floor tiling, including bathroom and wet-area work
- Waterproofing and preparation of wet areas
- Plaster repairs, patching, stopping and finishing
- Demolition and preparation works
- Rectification and finishing work
- Assisting with bathroom renovations and home modifications
- Identifying and resolving practical site issues
- Working alongside our carpenters, plumbers, electricians and other subcontractors
- Maintaining clean,



safe and organised work areas
- Working carefully within occupied homes
- Following approved plans, scopes of work and specifications
- Communicating immediately if site conditions or requested works differ from the approved scope

What we're looking for

Essential: 15+ years' relevant trade experience

Strong tiling skills

Robust plastering and finishing skills

Strong wet-area and waterproofing experience

Excellent attention to detail

High standard of workmanship

Ability to work independently

Good problem-solving skills

Professional and respectful communication

Current driver's licence and reliable transport

Current White Card

Based in Melbourne and able to travel across metropolitan Melbourne

Relevant trade qualifications, waterproofing accreditation/licensing and experience in bathroom renovations will be highly regarded.

Experience working in occupied homes, accessibility modifications, disability housing or aged-care environments would also be an advantage.

What we're offering

$45–$65 per hour, depending on experience and demonstrated skill set. This role will commence as a subcontractor position, giving both you and Restore the opportunity to establish a strong working relationship.

For the right person, our intention is to create a pathway into a permanent full time All-Rounder position in 2027 as Restore continues to grow.

We can offer consistent work, varied projects and the opportunity to become an important part of a specialist building team rather than simply being another subcontractor on a job.

The standard we expect

We're looking for someone who notices the details. Someone who doesn't tile over a problem because "that's what was there."

Someone who doesn't leave the next trade to discover an issue.

Someone who takes ownership of their work, keeps the site clean, speaks respectfully to clients and wants the finished job to look right.

If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply with a brief summary of your trade background and experience across tiling, plastering, waterproofing and residential renovations.
