Job Description

Plumbing work that keeps Cape Town CBD homes and buildings running: this residential plumbing company needs a trade-tested plumber. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Cape Town CBD, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What you'll actually do

  • Order fittings from the supplier and keep the van stocked
  • Take photos and complete the insurer's claim report after each geyser job
  • Clear blocked drains with a rodding machine and inspect lines with a drain camera
  • Trace hidden leaks using pressure tests and moisture readings
  • Replace burst geysers and fit vacuum breakers, drip trays and pressure control valves to SANS 10254
  • Work on the emergency call-out roster for after-hours bursts

You'll need

  • At least 3 years as a qualified plumber, including geyser replacements
  • Code 08 licence and a clean driving record
  • Fit enough to lift a 150-litre geyser with a helper and work in tight roof spaces
  • Plumbing trade test certificate or an Occupational Certificate: Plumber (NQF 4)
  • PIRB registration as a Licensed Plumber, so you can issue plumbing CoCs

Helpful, not essential

  • SAQCC Gas registration for LPG installations
  • Heat pump and solar geyser installation experience
  • Drain camera and high-pressure jetting experience

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a CV with two contactable references from plumbing employers plus PIRB registration card.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

How to stand out

  • Mention how many geyser replacements you do in a normal month. It is the number most plumbing managers ask about.
  • Do not list every plumbing task you have ever done. Focus on geysers, drainage and CoCs, which is what these jobs pay for.
