About the role

Do you want a job where you earn good money, have a work life balance and enjoy time on the tools?

It might sound great, but it often doesn't turn out that way.

I've been in your shoes before, so I understand.

Back when I worked as a plumber, I always did my best, but I often felt like I was just another worker with not much recognition.

I had great ideas, but our team rarely met to make our company better, and I didn't communicate much with my boss.

We talked about extra training, but it hardly happened. We just kept doing the same plumbing jobs day in, day out.

Sure, the pay was decent, but I wasn't that interested in my job. Something important was missing.

I thought switching to a different plumbing company with better pay might be the solution, but it wasn't. I found myself always saying "same thing different day".

Does this sound familiar to you?
