Why Apply

What if you could stack serious money for a few months, or lock in a long-term high-earning FIFO role, with almost zero living costs eating into your pay?

Our client is hiring plumbers for remote work in Kununurra, Western Australia, deep in the Kimberley, one of the most scenic and unique regions in the country. There are three positions available and two different commitment levels, so whether you are looking for a long-term FIFO lifestyle or a high-earning three month stint, there is an option here worth looking at seriously.
  • Earn 55 AUD/hr with unlimited hours available, your earning potential on a five weeks on roster is genuinely significant with no cap holding you back
  • Flights and accommodation fully covered, your take-home pay is almost entirely disposable income with no living costs coming out of your pocket
  • Huge variety of plumbing work across remote stations in the Kununurra region, no repetitive single-trade grind
  • Two commitment options available, one permanent long-term FIFO role and two short-term contracts of approximately three months
  • Kununurra and the Kimberley is one of WA's most spectacular remote regions, a genuinely unique life experience for candidates open to remote living
  • Sundays always off on both arrangements, a guaranteed rest day every week regardless of which role you take
The Role

You will be working across remote stations in and around Kununurra, WA, carrying out a wide variety of plumbing installation and maintenance work. This is not structured site work with a supervisor around every corner. You need to be self-sufficient, resourceful, and comfortable problem-solving on your own in a remote environment. The work is varied, the pace is real, and the earning potential for someone who backs themselves is substantial.

Three positions are available:

Permanent FIFO Plumber
  • Long-term FIFO arrangement on a five weeks on, two weeks off roster with every Sunday off
  • Carrying out varied plumbing maintenance and installation work across remote stations in the Kununurra region
  • Working independently and managing your own workload without close supervision
  • Suited to a plumber who has genuinely considered the FIFO lifestyle and is ready to commit long term
Short-Term Contract Plumber
  • Sundays off and some Saturdays included in the arrangement
  • Same varied remote station plumbing work as the permanent role
  • Ideal for a plumber who wants a high-earning stint without a long-term FIFO commitment
  • A strong option for anyone saving for something specific, between roles, or wanting to test remote FIFO before committing further
If you are an experienced registered plumber, licensed plumber, or qualified plumbing tradesperson comfortable working independently across maintenance and varied installation work, this role is worth a serious look.

What We Need
  • NZ trade qualification in plumbing, non-negotiable
  • Comfortable working remotely and independently across a wide variety of plumbing tasks without supervision
  • Physically fit and capable of demanding work in a remote and potentially harsh environment
  • White Card, confirm status on application as this is standard for WA construction and station environments
  • For the permanent role: genuine readiness for a long-term five weeks on, two weeks off FIFO lifestyle, only apply if you have thought this through properly
  • For the short-term roles: available for approximately three months and ready to move quickly
  • Easy-going, self-managing attitude and the ability to problem-solve without hand-holding
Why This Role

At 55 AUD/hr with unlimited hours and flights and accommodation fully covered, the earning potential here is hard to match anywhere in the NZ or Australian plumbing market right now. Almost everything you earn is yours to keep. Whether you are looking to build long-term FIFO income or bank a serious sum over three months, this is a rare opportunity for a qualified Kiwi plumber who is ready to back themselves somewhere genuinely different.
