Plumber

Job Description

Are you a registered or certified Plumber or Drainlayer? We want you! We're hiring for our fast growing divisions: Plumbing, Gas, Commercial, Drainage, Civil Tilyards has been around longer than most hot water cylinders (36+ years, yes, we’re counting) - and we’ve been working hard to make a name for ourselves doing everything from new builds, renovations and commercial to drainage and civil projects across Auckland, Waikato and now Whangarei. Our divisions are cranking and we need another absolute 1-2 weapons to keep up with the pace. We tackle the tricky stuff. The weird stuff. The “why is it leaking there?” stuff. Our clients call us when they want it done once, and done properly. So if you’re a plumbing or drainlaying pro who’s sick of the same old jobs and wants more variety, more freedom, and way more laughs on site - this is your sign. What You’ll Be Doing: * Residential, commercial projects and maintenance work all across Auckland * Diagnosing problems like a plumbing / drainlaying Sherlock * Handling a huge range of jobs solo or with the team - no two days are ever the same * Representing the Tilyards name with skill, pride, and a bit of banter What You Get: * Top pay for top skills * Company vehicle, uniform, phone * Monthly toolbox brekkies (bacon is our love language) * Social club shenanigans * Career progression - We’re big on personal development so there will be plenty of room to not only grow personally but also to help the team follow your lead and fire on all cylinders * Real respect - we trust you to do your job, and we’ve got your back every step of the way * Mentoring opportunities if you’re keen to help grow others as we grow the team * An awesome boss (Josh) who “genuinely gives a sh*t” * You will get to be part of an awesome team environment, our crew is the best and we absolutely love working with them everyday * Possibly the most important – working with an awesome crew who have the ultimate trifecta – knowledge, personality and extremely good looks 😉 You'll fit right in if you: * Are a certified or registered plumber (non-negotiable - sorry apprentices, we love ya but this one's not for you) * Are able to work in a fast paced, constantly changing environment * Take pride in your work * Communicate clearly with clients & the team – with just the right mix of professionalism and personality * Are a decent human with a good attitude and can have a good laugh * Bonus but not essential: You’re gas certified or have solid gas experience * High quality workmanship and a desire to do a great job every-time * Practical mindset and be able to think on your feet * Take pride in your work and go the extra mile to make sure every job is complete to the Tilyard standard * Be solutions focused, think and act fast * Our job platform is Fergus, any experience with this is an advantage * A good attitude, positive mindset and hunger for growth * Full drivers license * Strive for the ultimate trifecta – knowledge, personality and 'extremely good looks' (if your Mum says your pretty on the inside that definitely counts 😉) (This is a joke by the way and not an actual requirement!) If you didn’t tick all the boxes, then don’t stress… the right personality and mindset for our team and clients is the most important part of any role at Tilyards. A Bit About Us: We’re a crew of problem-solvers, banter-lovers, and all-around good sorts.
