Tradesman Plumber – Waihi

Love your trade but want more balance? How about finishing work and being at the beach 10 minutes later? Immediate starts available.

About Us

We’re Waterwise Plumbing & Gasfitting Ltd, a small, tight-knit team based in Waihi — servicing Waihi, Waihi Beach, Bowentown, Athenree, Katikati, Karangahake, Paeroa & Whiritoa.

We’re hands-on owners who take pride in quality workmanship, enjoy a good laugh, and keep the coffee machine running.

We use Fergus job management software to keep things organised and efficient, so you can focus on doing great work rather than paperwork.

We like to keep things relaxed — our Friday toolbox meetings sometimes happen down at the beach, where we catch up, swap stories, and get to know the locals.

At the same time, we take our work seriously. We service a mix of residential and commercial customers, so professionalism, reliability, and strong communication are essential.

We’re currently looking for Tradesman Plumbers to join our crew full-time. Gasfitting or drainlaying experience is a bonus, but not essential. If you’re hardworking, take pride in your trade, and want to be part of a great local team, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

You’ll be working across a mix of residential and commercial plumbing work — no two days are the same. You’ll have the freedom to work independently, problem-solve on the job, and represent the Waterwise name with pride.

This is a full-time role (42.5+ hours per week) based in Waihi — a great place to live and work with a friendly community, great local cafes, and Waihi Beach and the Coromandel Coast just minutes away.

📍 Location & travel times:

• Approx. 25 minutes to Whangamatā
• Approx. 1 hour to Tauranga
• Approx. 1.5 hours to Hamilton

• Qualified Tradesman Plumber (registration essential)
• NZ citizen, resident, or valid NZ work visa

• Clean, full NZ driver’s licence
• Able to drive manual vehicles
• Reliable, hardworking, and professional
• Comfortable working solo and in a small team
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Drug- and alcohol-free, as we work on 0% alcohol and drug sites (testing may be required)

What We Offer

• Competitive pay (based on experience and qualifications)
• Company vehicle, phone, and uniform (for qualified applicants)
• Supportive, flexible team culture
• Varied and interesting work across great communities

And yes — we’re just a short drive from some of the best beaches in NZ!
