Apprentice Plumbers: Learn from the Best and Build Your Future

See what it’s like to work for us. 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.

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.

Sound Familiar?

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

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

The Good Hands Superpower

Real Training, Real Support

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

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

Apprentice Plumber

• Competitive pay that grows with your skills and progress.
• Start in a truck or work alongside senior plumbers — we’ll set you up based on experience.
• Full uniform kit, boots, and PPE provided.
• Quality tools, vehicles, and systems that make work smoother and smarter.
• Supportive mentoring from experienced tradesmen who actually take the time to teach you.
• Weekly development sessions that build confidence and independence on the job.

• A calm, respectful team environment — no chaos, no shouting, just good people doing good work.

What we’re looking for

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

A Day in the Life of a Good Hands Plumber

1. Start The Day Your Way — You’ll head straight to your first job in your take‑home truck, iPad in hand. Pop into HQ for a coffee or a quick catch‑up if you feel like it — no pressure either way.
2. Hit The Tools At 8 AM — 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.
3. Handle What Comes Up — 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.
4. Finish Strong And Head Home — Finish your last job, send through your notes, and head home knowing there’s no on‑call or constant Saturdays. A bit of overtime happens most weeks, but it’s never crazy — we keep things calm and steady.

• We Care About Your Progress: if you show the right mindset, we’ll help you get in your own truck and running jobs as soon as you’re ready.

• Family‑run, Calm Culture: no egos, no shouting, just good people doing great work together.
• Learn At Your Own Space: everyone develops differently, and we’ll support you to become confident on and off the tools.
