KAPITI | QUALIFIED PLUMBER/GASFITTER /DRAINLAYER

Job Description – Plumber / Gasfitter / Drainlayer

Are you the kind of tradesman who actually cares about doing a job properly? Or are you stuck in a loop of quick fixes, patch jobs, and working alongside people who are happy cutting corners?

At Peter Jackson Plumbing, we’re not interested in average. We’re looking for someone who wants to take pride in their work, stand behind what they do, and be part of a team that’s genuinely trying to raise the standard of the plumbing industry. We’ve been operating on the Kapiti Coast for nearly 30 years, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things right. Not the quickest. Not the cheapest. Just the right way. That means better systems, better communication, and a team that backs each other.

What you can expect

You’ll be working across a mix of maintenance, renovations, and project work. Some days are straightforward, others will challenge you. That’s how you grow. You’ll have the support of a solid office team, clear direction on jobs, and the expectation that you take ownership of your work from start to finish.

This role isn’t for everyone.

If you’re just looking for an easy run or the next pay bump, you probably won’t enjoy it here. But if you want to improve, be challenged, and take your trade seriously, you’ll fit right in. We value people who show up on time, communicate properly, look after their gear, and leave sites clean. People who take responsibility, not shortcuts. You’ll also be part of a team that actually gets along. No egos, no nonsense, just a group of good people who want to do quality work and keep improving.

About the Role

The role is for a qualified Plumber, Gasfitter or Drainlayer, with a full driver’s licence and a strong work ethic. Hours are Monday to Thursday 7:30am to 5:00pm, Friday 7:30am to 4:00pm, with an on-call roster every 5–6 weeks.

Pay is by negotiation depending on your experience and what you bring to the table. We invest in our people. If you want to grow, step into leadership, or build a long-term career, we’ll back you. If that sounds like you, get in touch.
