Be Part of Something Bigger — Join One of South Australia’s Fastest-Growing, Most Innovative Trade Businesses

At Need Trade Services, growth isn’t just a goal — it’s part of who we are. Since starting in 2017 with a team of six — four plumbers, our Director, and one business support staff member — we’ve steadily developed into a well-established, multi-trade organisation. Today, we employ over 25 professionals across our plumbing, building, roof plumbing, and business support divisions — and we’re just getting started.

What sets us apart? It’s not just the scale of our growth — it’s the way we’ve grown.

We’ve built a business where people genuinely matter. Our success is driven by a culture that values Collaboration, Innovation, Communication, Trust, Respect, Quality, and Culture. We’re proud to have created a workplace where your ideas are heard, your growth is supported, and your work truly makes an impact.

Our teams are backed by a strong and experienced business support crew who take care of the logistics, admin, and scheduling — so our tradies can focus on doing what they do best. We don’t set sales targets, and we don’t expect our staff to upsell. You're here to deliver high-quality work, not play salesperson.

All of our clients are business-to-business (B2B) — meaning no high-pressure residential work or awkward upsells. Instead, you’ll work with commercial clients on well-managed projects, with consistent expectations and a clear focus on quality.

Why Join Us?

You’ll grow with us. All of our current leaders started on the tools at Need Trade Services. We believe in developing talent from within.

You’ll be supported. With a strong business support team behind you, you’ll have what you need to do great work — without the distractions.

You won’t be expected to sell. We’re about quality, not quotas. No upselling, no sales pressure — just pride in your craft.

You’ll be part of a real culture. We walk the talk when it comes to work-life balance, respect, recognition, and communication.

When you join our team, you're not just taking a job — you’re stepping into a workplace where you’re valued, trusted, and supported to succeed.
