Job Description

This residential plumbing company in Epping needs a plumber who arrives on time, fixes it properly and leaves the site clean. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Install copper, PEX and PVC piping for new bathrooms and kitchens
  • Issue plumbing Certificates of Compliance for completed installations
  • Trace hidden leaks using pressure tests and moisture readings
  • Install and repair soil and waste pipes to SANS 10400 Part P
  • Take photos and complete the insurer's claim report after each geyser job
  • Fit toilets, basins, showers and mixers to the client's chosen finishes
  • Service booster pumps, pressure tanks and water storage tanks

Must-haves

  • Fit enough to lift a 150-litre geyser with a helper and work in tight roof spaces
  • Working knowledge of SANS 10252-1 and SANS 10254
  • Able to talk politely to home owners about damage and costs
  • PIRB registration as a Licensed Plumber, so you can issue plumbing CoCs
  • Code 08 licence and a clean driving record

Helpful, not essential

  • Drain camera and high-pressure jetting experience
  • Experience with insurance repair work and claim paperwork
  • Heat pump and solar geyser installation experience

On offer

  • Protective clothing and safety boots replaced yearly
  • Cellphone allowance for job updates and photos
  • Fully stocked service van with a fuel card
  • Call-out bonus for every after-hours job you complete
