Job Description

Plumbing work that keeps Kariega homes and buildings running: this insurance repair contractor needs a trade-tested plumber. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Location: Kariega, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

Trace hidden leaks using pressure tests and moisture readings
Order fittings from the supplier and keep the van stocked
Install and repair soil and waste pipes to SANS 10400 Part P
Issue plumbing Certificates of Compliance for completed installations
Service booster pumps, pressure tanks and water storage tanks
Work on the emergency call-out roster for after-hours bursts
Install copper, PEX and PVC piping for new bathrooms and kitchens

You'll need

Code 08 licence and a clean driving record
Plumbing trade test certificate or an Occupational Certificate: Plumber (NQF 4)
Able to talk politely to home owners about damage and costs
At least 3 years as a qualified plumber, including geyser replacements

Helpful, not essential

Experience with insurance repair work and claim paperwork
SAQCC Gas registration for LPG installations

On offer

Call-out bonus for every after-hours job you complete
Protective clothing and safety boots replaced yearly
Paid PIRB renewal fee
Cellphone allowance for job updates and photos

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Kariega really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID copy, certified within the last three months, PIRB registration card plus a CV with two contactable references from plumbing employers.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
