Graded Artisans – Plumber / Pipefitter-7 Positions

Role Overview

As a Plumber and Water Services Technician, you will be the person who keeps clean water flowing and waste moving where it needs to go — installing new pipework and sanitary fixtures, tracking down leaks, clearing blockages, and keeping existing systems in reliable working order. You will work from drawings and specifications, select and fit the right materials for each job, and pressure-test your work so problems are caught before they reach the customer. The quality of your work directly protects buildings from water damage, safeguards public health, and keeps households and facilities running without disruption.

• Diagnose faults in plumbing and water systems, trace leaks and blockages, and carry out repairs or replacements with minimal disruption to occupants.
• Carry out pressure and leak testing, then inspect completed installations to confirm they meet performance and safety standards.
• Maintain and service existing systems through scheduled inspections, descaling, and replacement of worn components.
• Read and interpret layout drawings, schematics, and material lists, and record work completed, materials used, and time spent.
• Follow site safety procedures, keep tools and equipment in good condition, and coordinate with other trades so work progresses without clashes.
• Respond promptly to emergency call-outs such as burst pipes and overflowing systems, and apply temporary containment before permanent repairs.
