Maintenance & Technical Support

• Diagnose and repair plumbing faults including burst pipes, leaking joints, dripping taps, malfunctioning float valves, and defective pressure-reducing valves by systematically tracing systems and isolating sections to pinpoint the exact source of the problem.
• Perform preventative maintenance inspections on plumbing infrastructure across commercial and industrial sites, checking for corrosion, joint integrity, water hammer, and pressure variations, and generating comprehensive condition reports with recommended remedial actions.
• Clear blocked drains, waste pipes, and sewer lines using mechanical drain snakes, high-pressure water jetting equipment rated to 3000 PSI, and CCTV drain inspection cameras to locate obstructions and assess the internal structural condition of buried pipework.
• Repair and replace hot water systems including electric and solar geysers, heat pumps, and circulating pumps, checking thermostat settings, heating elements, sacrificial anodes, and safety valves to restore reliable and energy-efficient hot water supply.

Health, Safety & Compliance

• Manage tools and equipment responsibly by conducting daily pre-use inspections of power tools, drain cleaning machinery, gas torches, and safety harnesses, and immediately removing any defective or damaged equipment from service for repair or replacement.
• Maintain a clean and hazard-free work area by cordoning off work zones, displaying appropriate warning signage, containing water spills and debris during repairs, and thoroughly cleaning up after completing work at client premises to leave the site safe and presentable.
• Issue Certificates of Compliance for plumbing installations upon completion of work, confirming that all systems have been pressure-tested, meet SANS 10254 requirements, and are safe for connection to municipal water supply and drainage networks before final sign-off.
• Ensure all plumbing work is carried out in strict compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Construction Regulations, including the use of required PPE, safe excavation practices, and confined space entry procedures when working in manholes and underground chambers.

• A recognised trade certificate in plumbing issued by a relevant SETA or a national certificate in plumbing.
• A valid driver's licence is essential for roles requiring travel to multiple sites or call-out response.
• For drainage specialist roles, experience with high-pressure jetting equipment and CCTV drain inspection cameras.
• A minimum of three to four years of experience in plumbing installation, maintenance, or construction environments.
• Physical fitness to work in confined spaces, at heights, and in environments that may be dirty or unpleasant.
