Know your way around SANS 10254 and a geyser drip tray? The commercial building contractor in Umlazi wants to hear from you. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Umlazi-based, with most of your time spent at a commercial building contractor.

• Service booster pumps, pressure tanks and water storage tanks
• Install copper, PEX and PVC piping for new bathrooms and kitchens
• 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
• Work on the emergency call-out roster for after-hours bursts

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

• Paid PIRB renewal fee

• 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.
