Licensed Plumber (PIRB Registered)

You'll sort out burst geysers, leaks and blockages for the insurance repair contractor in Centurion. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is Centurion-based, with most of your time spent at an insurance repair contractor.

• Take photos and complete the insurer's claim report after each geyser job
• Order fittings from the supplier and keep the van stocked
• Install and repair soil and waste pipes to SANS 10400 Part P
• Service booster pumps, pressure tanks and water storage tanks
• Fit toilets, basins, showers and mixers to the client's chosen finishes
• Trace hidden leaks using pressure tests and moisture readings

• 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
• PIRB registration as a Licensed Plumber, so you can issue plumbing CoCs
• Plumbing trade test certificate or an Occupational Certificate: Plumber (NQF 4)

• SAQCC Gas registration for LPG installations
• Drain camera and high-pressure jetting experience

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

• 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.
