There's "all the perks you can think of" - but no applicants.

Careers NZ says there is a shortage of plumbers and those who are experienced can earn more than $53 an hour.

    Even with the normal expectations and earning possibilities etc.

    If you’ve been advertising a job at a certain rate and nobody has applied, then either the location, conditions or pay are not meeting the market. You can’t change the location for a business like this, so you have to change the conditions and/or pay. ie, the true hourly rate for any given job is what you can hire someone to do it for.
