Plumbers supplied by TradeConnex

Hiring plumbers through TradeConnex

Plumbing runs through a build twice: underground drainage and rough-in early, then fit-off near the end. Both stages hold up other trades if the plumber isn’t there, and both need someone licensed to do and certify the work. We supply plumbers who hold the licence for the state they’re working in, and we confirm it before they start.

Plumbing licences are issued by each state and territory, and gasfitting and drainage are often licensed separately. Tell us the scope, such as sanitary drainage, water services, hot water, gas or roof plumbing, and we’ll put forward plumbers licensed and experienced in that work. A licensed plumber can also be paired with a trade assistant from our trades and services hire.

We supply plumbers to residential, commercial and maintenance work, and to utilities projects where stormwater and sewer form part of the civil scope. Our screening covers trade experience, a face-to-face interview and references. For excavation and pipe laying, excavator operators and labourers can be added to the same booking.

  • Rough-in water, waste and gas lines to drawings
