Pay and the sign-on bonus are the figures Flowtek advertised for this role on 19/08/2026. Jason confirms them in writing before you accept anything.
We have had this conversation with enough tradespeople to know how it goes. It is almost never the money.
Two weeks on, one week back. Twelve hour days and a drive either side of them. The money is good and the calendar belongs to somebody else. Birthdays, Saturday sport and the ordinary Tuesday night all happen while you are three hundred kilometres away.
Eight months on one site running the same pipe in the same direction. The pay does not change and neither does the day. A plumber who only ever does one thing ends up very good at one thing and rusty at the rest.
A schedule that changes at six in the morning. Gear that gave up two jobs ago. A question about your pay that takes three weeks to come back, and comes back wrong. None of that is the work. All of it is the job.
This job is based in Yeppoon and every job is inside the Capricorn Coast. You finish, you drive home, you are there for dinner. There is no roster, no camp and no flight.
Six kinds of work go through this business, and you will touch all of them. Maintenance one day, a bathroom rough-in the next, a commercial kitchen gas fitout the week after, backflow testing on the calendar every year.
You get the week ahead in advance and a phone call the moment it changes. If you ask Jason a question, Jason is the one who answers it, and if the answer is no you get told it is no.
Yeppoon based. No fly-in fly-out, no drive-in drive-out, no camp.
Maintenance, drainage, rough-ins, renovations, gas fitting and backflow testing.
You will run jobs on your own, talk to the customer yourself and make the call on site.
A ute set up properly, and the tools for the job you were actually sent to.
On pay, on hours, on what happens next. You ask Jason, and Jason is the one who answers.
Bigger projects as the business takes them on, and a say in how they run.
Six lines of work go through this business. A plumber here touches all of them, not one of them. That is the difference between the trade widening and the trade narrowing.
Installation, repairs and troubleshooting. Instantaneous gas hot water, Solar hot water, Heat pump hot water.
Blockages, leaks, taps and pressure. Blocked drains and toilets, Leak detection and repair, Leaking and dripping taps.
Bathroom, kitchen, laundry and commercial. Bathroom rough-in and fit-off, Kitchen sink, dishwasher and waste, Gas fitting for ovens and cooktops.
Hot water, cooktops, ovens, commercial. Gas hot water systems, Cooktop and oven installation, Gas point installation and relocation.
Annual and ad hoc compliance testing. Annual backflow prevention device testing, Ad hoc backflow testing, Thermostatic mixing valve testing.
Burst pipes, leaks, blockages, gas. Burst and leaking water mains, Blocked drains and overflowing toilets, No hot water.

Two minutes here saves us both a phone call. We would rather lose you now than in week three.
Sure, we're professionals who do a bang-up job, turn up on time and communicate effectively, but we also like to bring a human touch to every project.

If you read that list and thought that is how I already work, then the form is worth twenty minutes of your evening. If you read it and thought that is a bit much, we have just saved you the twenty minutes.
Missing one of these has never stopped a good application. Say what you hold and what you do not.
Not a recruiter, not an inbox rule. He reads every application himself.
Fifteen minutes. He will ask about the hardest job you have done, and you should ask him whatever you like.
A paid day working alongside us on real jobs. You see how we work, we see how you work. Nobody has to guess.
Pay, hours, the sign-on bonus and its terms, all on paper before you resign from anywhere.
Flowtek Services pays $45 to $50 an hour for this role, based on experience and the licences you hold, plus a $1,500 sign-on bonus with terms that are put in writing before you accept. These figures come from Flowtek’s own advertised listing for the role.
No. This is a local role based in Yeppoon, Queensland. Every job is inside the Capricorn Coast service area, so you finish on site and drive home the same day. There is no roster, no camp and no flight.
Yes. Flowtek Services works across Yeppoon, Rockhampton, Taranganba and the Capricorn Coast, and applications from Rockhampton are welcome. The business is based in Yeppoon, so that is where the ute starts and finishes.
You need a plumbing qualification and a Queensland plumbing licence, or to be in a position to get one. A gas work licence, backflow and thermostatic mixing valve accreditation and poly welding are all useful and none of them is a condition of applying.
The role advertised here is for a qualified plumber. Flowtek Services is a small business in Yeppoon and apprenticeships are not currently advertised, so an apprentice application will be read and kept on file rather than actioned against this vacancy. Choose apprentice on the form so it is filed correctly.
Six kinds. Maintenance plumbing and blocked drains, drainage work and rough-ins, bathroom and kitchen renovations, gas fitting including commercial kitchens, hot water system installation and repair, and annual backflow and thermostatic mixing valve testing. Domestic and commercial both.
Jason Breingan reads every application himself. If it looks right you get a phone call, then a paid day on the tools working alongside us on real jobs, then an offer in writing covering pay, hours and the sign-on bonus terms before you resign from anywhere.
Give this twenty minutes and a cup of tea. The last four questions are the ones Jason actually reads, and a one-line answer to any of them is an answer.
Ring Jason and ask him whatever you like about the job. If he is under a house he will not pick up, so leave a message and say it is about the job.
