Blokes in Adelaide that feel like they're spinning their wheels in the mud when it comes to their work.

You know you have way more value to provide, but you haven't come across the right opportunity yet.

You don't fancy the idea of starting over with a 4yr adult apprenticeship and getting paid peanuts or f'ing off to the mines.

Surface Rescue has what you're looking for...

We're looking for motivated, consistent guys to join our team — blokes who want more than a clock-in, clock-out gig. People who've often thought about one day running their own business, but never quite had the way in.

Come work with us in our Adelaide location, and after 2 years on the tools, unlock the opportunity to start your own Surface Rescue franchise (yep we're going nationwide) with a $0 establishment fee.

That's a $50k saving, and our way of backing the people who backed us first.

But before any of that — here's what's on offer from day one.

We're Surface Rescue. We transform driveways, garage floors and concrete surfaces for homeowners and businesses across Adelaide, through 3 divisions: Exterior Cleaning, Concrete Resurfacing, and Epoxy Flooring.

A typical day starts at our Ridgehaven warehouse at 7am. You load up, head out across Adelaide in a two-to-three-man crew, and get into it. Different locations, different jobs, hands-on work you can stand back and be proud of.

You don't need prior experience. We've found people with a hands-on background - other trades, landscaping, even just someone who's handy with tools — tend to be the best fit.

Here's how our current techs earn $100k a year, with us...

Base rate — Start at $38.75/hr casual, moving to $41.50/hr once you pass your skills assessment. Overtime and super on top. Full-time available after 6 months' probation.

Pay for Performance (P4P) — Finish a job ahead of schedule with a happy client and you're looking at an extra $5–$10/hr. We pay whichever is greater: your base + overtime, or your P4P.

Onsite content capture — Simple timelapse and POV footage of the work (not TikTok dances). Our best guys pull an extra $200–$300/week from this alone. Never done it? We'll show you how.

Upsells — Spot something we could make look awesome, quote it, and take a cut if the client says yes. No slimy sales tactics — just genuine value they can take or leave.

On top of that: learn valuable skills in a growing market, work with a fun no-BS team, and pick up the basics of running a business while you're still earning good money.

Then there's the part most jobs can't offer you.

We're building a national franchise network, and we'd rather grow it with people who already know how we operate than start a stranger from scratch. Put in 2 years with us, and when you're ready, your franchise fee is waived. You'll still cover your own setup costs — vehicle, marketing, equipment — this isn't a free ride, it's a fast track. But you'll already know the systems, the brand, the clients, and the work, inside and out

(To be clear — this isn't an expectation. It's an opportunity for the guys who want to go in that direction.)

But this isn't for cruisers.

Or guys who can only do the right thing for a few weeks before their true colours show. We've hired enough of those over the years, and we've developed a pretty keen radar for BS.

Only apply if you know you can meet our values:

Commitment — We show up every time. On time, no excuses.

Communication — We talk straight, we listen well. Clear, respectful comms.

Teamwork — We win as a team. We back each other up.

Pride — We leave it better than we found it. Pride in every detail.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from it.
