Job Description

This private hospital maintenance department in Richards Bay needs a plumber who arrives on time, fixes it properly and leaves the site clean. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

  • Install and repair soil and waste pipes to SANS 10400 Part P
  • Order fittings from the supplier and keep the van stocked
  • Work on the emergency call-out roster for after-hours bursts
  • Issue plumbing Certificates of Compliance for completed installations
  • Take photos and complete the insurer's claim report after each geyser job
  • Install copper, PEX and PVC piping for new bathrooms and kitchens

You'll need

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

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Richards Bay really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: a CV with two contactable references from plumbing employers plus ID copy, certified within the last three months.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Richards Bay.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Put your PIRB number at the top of your CV. Insurance contractors check it before they read anything else.
  • Do not list every plumbing task you have ever done. Focus on geysers, drainage and CoCs, which is what these jobs pay for.
