Meet Lachlan Crowe and James Roulis! They are our plumbing apprentices, hosted to Fairfield City Council.
While they are doing the same trade and based at the same host, Lachlan and James are in very different stages of their plumbing careers. Lachlan is in the 1st year of his apprenticeship, which he started only a few months ago. James is in the 4th Year of his apprenticeship, which he will complete early next year.
Mostly jetting and unblocking drains or toilets. I work at leisure centres, public toilets and fields.
Mainly how to use the basic hand tools for this job.
I like that I’m not always working indoors.
It’s a good job. It’s good because it’s always a different job every day, you’re not just at the same place.
Unblocking sewer drains, fixing stormwater pipes, sewer pipes and water pipes. I do a lot of work out at community centres, childcare centres, leisure centres and parks.
I know how to use basic hand tools and how to use a jetter.
Everything. Doing maintenance and I am always at a different job site. A new day is a new job and constantly changing.
Just do it. It’s good fun and it’s a good way to keep fit.
