Commercial Plumber (New Builds)

You'll sort out burst geysers, leaks and blockages for the commercial building contractor in Atlantis. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Atlantis-based, with most of your time spent at a commercial building contractor.

• Fit toilets, basins, showers and mixers to the client's chosen finishes
• Trace hidden leaks using pressure tests and moisture readings
• Clear blocked drains with a rodding machine and inspect lines with a drain camera

• Code 08 licence and a clean driving record
• At least 3 years as a qualified plumber, including geyser replacements
• Able to talk politely to home owners about damage and costs
• PIRB registration as a Licensed Plumber, so you can issue plumbing CoCs

• Put your PIRB number at the top of your CV. Insurance contractors check it before they read anything else.
