Qualified Plumber

We are looking for a driven Qualified Plumber to join our organisation in East London, Eastern Cape. This is a chance to put your skills to work in a role that genuinely matters to the business.

Collaboration, fairness, and pride in the work define the day-to-day culture. Communication is open, and everyone pulls in the same direction. Training is practical and ongoing rather than a once-off exercise. Ready to apply? Send through your CV and a short introduction.

The role is based on-site and suits someone living within commuting distance.

Maintenance & Technical Support

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Team Supervision & Quality Control

• Review completed job cards and site reports to verify that all work has been carried out to specification, materials used are correctly recorded, and the installation is ready for handover and client sign-off with a fully compliant Certificate of Compliance.
• Mentor plumbing apprentices by providing structured on-the-job training in pipefitting, fault diagnosis, reading technical drawings, professional customer communication, and safe work practices to support their preparation for trade testing with the relevant SETA.
• Supervise and guide junior plumbers and general assistants on site by allocating tasks clearly, demonstrating correct installation and repair techniques, monitoring workmanship against quality standards, and correcting errors before pipework is permanently concealed.
• Conduct quality inspections of all plumbing installations before backfilling trenches or closing up walls and ceilings, checking pipe gradients, support spacing, joint integrity, and pressure test results to ensure each installation meets the required standard and is free of defects.

• 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.
• Strong problem-solving skills to diagnose complex plumbing issues and determine effective and cost-efficient repairs.
• Physical fitness to work in confined spaces, at heights, and in environments that may be dirty or unpleasant.
• A recognised trade certificate in plumbing issued by a relevant SETA or a national certificate in plumbing.
