Team Supervision & Quality Control

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Health, Safety & Compliance

• 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.
• 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.

• For drainage specialist roles, experience with high-pressure jetting equipment and CCTV drain inspection cameras.
• Thorough knowledge of SANS plumbing codes and regulations governing water supply and drainage installations.
• A recognised trade certificate in plumbing issued by a relevant SETA or a national certificate in plumbing.
• Registration with the Plumbing Industry Registration Board or eligibility to register for qualified plumber positions.
• Physical fitness to work in confined spaces, at heights, and in environments that may be dirty or unpleasant.
• A minimum of three to four years of experience in plumbing installation, maintenance, or construction environments.
• A valid driver's licence is essential for roles requiring travel to multiple sites or call-out response.
