Job Description

You'll sort out burst geysers, leaks and blockages for the property management company in Mthatha. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

Take photos and complete the insurer's claim report after each geyser job
Service booster pumps, pressure tanks and water storage tanks
Order fittings from the supplier and keep the van stocked
Install copper, PEX and PVC piping for new bathrooms and kitchens
Fit toilets, basins, showers and mixers to the client's chosen finishes

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
