TEAM

Mark Kusely

As a child, I spent a lot of time in the school holidays going to work with my Dad. He ran his own plumbing business and I always enjoyed it and loved to keep busy. It was then I decided I would one day join the family business.

The thing I like most about plumbing is that our jobs are located throughout different areas in Sydney, so every day the work and environment changes.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and I enjoy being active. I love to run, swim, ride, hike and surf and I also love watching the Sea Eagles play in the NRL.

I have a positive, can-do attitude on the work site and an excellent work ethic. I really enjoy watching the jobs come together from the ground up and I love the finish-off phase - it's the icing on the cake for me.

I fell into plumbing when I was 20. I had tried plenty of other jobs in different industries, and nothing fit. My dad said he knew a guy that owed him a favour, and that’s how it started.

What I love about plumbing are the opportunities it gives you as you grow in the industry. Being surrounded by people that support one another and building a good working culture has always been my priority. I am very thankful to be part of the North Shore Plumbing Group team.

I am excited about our future and how we are connecting with skilled workers from all over the world. I will work hard to create opportunities for the team while continuing to deliver quality work to our clients.

Inspired by the vibrant energy of construction sites during my teenage years, I discovered my passion for plumbing at an early age. I have been fortunate to have worked in plumbing firms in Switzerland and now in Australia over the past 24 years; specialising in high-end residential construction plumbing.

What excites me most about plumbing is being an integral part of crafting functional spaces. From laying the groundwork to fitting off at the end of the job, and witnessing customer satisfaction, every part of the process inspires me. In addition, I enjoy ensuring my skills are being actively learned by apprentices.

My commitment to an active lifestyle extends beyond plumbing. I prioritise fitness at the gym to maintain physical and mental well-being. The tranquility of a sauna session is my cherished relaxation ritual after a day's work.

Beyond my plumbing expertise, I bring valuable leadership skills acquired during my National Service in the Swiss Army. As an Infantry Corporal, I learned the importance of leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving, which continue to influence my professional and personal endeavours. In addition to plumbing and army experience, I'm an active volunteer visitor, It's a way for me to give back, providing companionship and support.

After school I completed a management degree specialising in tourism before spending several years in various marketing roles in the tourism sector. I quickly realised I enjoyed all things business and after assisting North Shore Plumbing Group with some work I found that my values aligned closely with that of the business. Having the opportunity to work with the team full-time is something I relish.

What I enjoy most about my role is the variety of work. I find it extremely rewarding to come up with creative solutions to a range of business concerns.

Outside of work I enjoy playing soccer and spending time with my family and friends.

I believe there are no limitations to personal and organisational growth if we are willing to adapt and learn.

My introduction to plumbing was while I was attending Uni. During a storm my parent's house began flooding and they had left for a vacation. After realising they weren't going to answer the phone and not having the cash to pay for an emergency plumber myself I decided to borrow a pump from a friend and get to work. Once the flood waters had calmed down a plumber arrived to repair the collapsed section of pipe. After seeing the work I had put in he decided to hire me on the spot and I've been plumbing ever since.

Solving puzzles in a hands-on way has always been a strength of mine and the satisfaction of working out the most efficient way to complete a task or delving into the technical details to find a solution is the best part of plumbing for me.

Besides work, woodworking, hiking, fishing, and taking trips wherever I can keep me busy. I am always finding new adventures and hobbies.

In my work diligence with the details and a calm attitude seem to have helped me immensely, the mentality to always keep learning and perfecting allows me to keeping loving what I do.

Back home in Germany where I grew up we have a little Restaurant and Bar where my neighbour and his employees would sit after work and drink some beers. My neighbour owns a plumbing company. When I was little I sometimes heard interesting stories about their work so I decided to do my first school work experience as a plumber in his company. After i finished school I decided to really get into it.

The best thing about plumbing is all the variety on the different jobs. It never gets boring because you always have different situations to face.

Aside from work, I spend lots of time with my flatmates and I like to cook and do a lot of Sport. Sometimes I play computer games with friends and we love to drive around and visit the different beaches. I also play the ukulele.

I would say I am easy to get along with and enjoy meeting new people.

Josh S

When I finished high school I wanted to get into a trade as I couldn’t see myself working a desk job. After plumbing for a few months I decided to stick with it.

One of my favourite aspects of plumbing is being able to see jobs go from design to something amazing which has been built collectively by all trades working together. Also being able to work in a variety of locations and meeting new people on a weekly basis.

Outside of work I like to stay fit in the gym, hang out with my friends, spend time at the beach and go camping.

I use my skills in communication, problem solving and a drive to work hard and learn more every single day on the job.

Preston H

I have always wanted to do something hands on and physical. I decided to go with plumbing because I felt it best suited me and is a good steady career choice.

I like the variety in plumbing. The different types of work and working in a range of places too.

Outside of work I enjoy going to the gym, going out on the boat in summer and hanging out with my mates.

I like to think I am hardworking and good at problem solving.

Luke P

I got into plumbing when I was 16 when I decided I wanted a steady income and a purpose. I applied for a few jobs online and was lucky enough to land one and haven't looked back since.

The thing I like most about plumbing is the variety of locations and working outside. It's also incredibly satisfying to see a project come together after weeks of work.

Outside of work I enjoy being in nature, going for hikes and exploring new places. I also like live sports and music.

I would say my best trait is a drive to always learn and constantly improve.

Cooper V

I started plumbing because I was interested in doing a trade and plumbing seemed like a good skill to have and appealed to me. I did some work experience and was lucky enough to be offered a job.

My favourite thing about plumbing is being able to see a job come together over time and seeing the end result of all the hard work.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my mates, kickboxing and hiking.

I love solving problems, am hard working, and won’t stop until the jobs finished.

Cain S

I got into plumbing because in the other career paths I had previously followed, I always felt unfulfilled both physically and mentally. I thought plumbing was the most fulfilling and future safe trade.

I enjoy working in different locations and encountering different challenges and advantages. I also like that there is something new everyday.

Outside of work I like bush walks and spending time with friends

I like to think I have good people skills, both in a professional and casual setting

Harry F

I always knew that I wanted to get into the trade industry but I was tossing up between a few trades. At 16 I ended up doing some work experience with a commercial plumbing company and spent most of my school holidays working with them. Once I was sure that I wanted to go into plumbing I started my apprenticeship.

What I like best about plumbing is that you’re always in a different location and you’re doing something different with new challenges everyday.

Outside of work I spend most of my weekends at tracks all around Australia racing go karts and on free weekends I usually work on my car and hangout with friends

I find that one of my best traits that has helped me in and out of work is that I have great problem solving skills and always try my best to find a solution to any given problem.

Liam I

I got into plumbing due to having a genuine feeling of displacement in a school setting, the idea of doing a desk job for the rest of my life was not an option and I needed to do something hands on. Plumbing was the first trade I tried and it suited me perfectly being future safe and challenging.

The aspect of plumbing I most enjoy is just being able to help, when you see a client who is happy and you know you helped to spark joy. Being able to fix or make something and see it come to life is one of the best feelings.

Outside of work I love hanging out with friends and playing football or any kind of sport.

A special trait I have is a natural passion for cars wether it be something fast and exciting or a 4WD, I love learning about them and eventually want to build my own.
