About This Role
The Northern Territory Government recruits qualified plumbers under the NT DAMA, which covers trade occupations facing critical shortages. This role delivers essential infrastructure across Darwin. Overseas-qualified plumbers must complete TRA skills recognition.

Eligible Visa Pathways
Subclass 482 (Temporary Skills Shortage) allows employers to sponsor overseas workers for up to 4 years. It is the most common sponsorship visa and can lead to permanent residency via the 186 ENS visa.
Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMAs) allow regional employers to sponsor overseas workers on a broader range of occupations with more flexible requirements than standard visas.
