Whether you're finishing school, looking for your first job, or ready to swap your current career for something new, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for! Isaac Regional Council is offering an exciting opportunity to earn while you learn, gain a nationally recognised trade qualification and build a career in an essential industry. No plumbing experience? No worries! We're looking for someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn and a drive to give things a go.
  
About the role
As an Apprentice Plumber, you'll become part of our Water and Waste team in Moranbah, learning the ropes alongside experienced tradespeople who will help you develop your skills and confidence.
This isn't your typical classroom experience! You'll get stuck into real projects, gain valuable hands-on experience and learn what it takes to keep essential water and wastewater services running across our communities, all while completing your formal trade training.
  
Your apprenticeship will see you:
 

• Get hands-on experience assisting with plumbing, water and sewerage works.
• Learn how to maintain and repair water and wastewater networks.
• Assist with domestic plumbing, scheduled maintenance and water meter readings.
• Work alongside qualified tradespeople who will guide and support your development.
• Work towards completing the qualifications, certifications and licences required for your trade.

Who we're looking for
You don't need to know your way around a toolbox just yet! We're looking for someone who's keen to learn, isn't afraid of a challenge and is ready to put in the effort to build a great career.
  
You'll be a great fit if you:
 

• Have a can-do attitude, a strong work ethic and show up ready to give your best.
• Enjoy practical, hands-on work and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
• Are a team player who communicates well and enjoys learning from others.
• Have good literacy and numeracy skills.
• Take pride in your work and understand the importance of working safely.
• Have a genuine interest in plumbing, water and wastewater services.

You'll also need to have:
 

• Completed Year 10 or higher.
• A valid driver's licence  (desirable but not essential).
• A Construction White Card.

Previous experience in plumbing or knowledge of water and sewerage systems would be a bonus, but what matters most is your enthusiasm, reliability and willingness to learn!
  
Why join us?
 

• Earn while you learn! Get paid while working towards a nationally recognised trade qualification.
• Start your journey in 2027! Kick off your new career with a proposed commencement date of Monday 18 January 2027.
