Plumber for Geyser Installations

You'll sort out burst geysers, leaks and blockages for the private hospital maintenance department in Benoni. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Benoni-based, with most of your time spent at a private hospital maintenance department. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Order fittings from the supplier and keep the van stocked
• Clear blocked drains with a rodding machine and inspect lines with a drain camera
• Trace hidden leaks using pressure tests and moisture readings

• 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
