Work Integrated Technical Learner: Plumber

About this role

Transnet Port Terminals is offering a work-integrated learning post for a plumber in Durban and Richards Bay. This is part of the Artisan In Training Programme, which helps newly qualified artisans gain real work experience.

The programme runs for 24 months. You will use your trade knowledge on real port and terminal work, with support from a mentor.

What you’ll do

• Carry out routine plumbing maintenance and repairs.
• Find and fix faults by testing and troubleshooting.
• Follow safety rules at all times.
• Look after your tools and equipment so they stay in good condition.
• Keep records of the work you do and report to your supervisor.

What you need

• A Plumber Trade Test Certificate.
• A trade test passed within the last 4 years.
• Less than one year of work experience.
• Age between 18 and 35.
• South African citizenship.
• Basic knowledge of tools and safety procedures is expected at entry level. Being able to work on your own with little supervision is a plus.

Is this job for you?

This post suits a young plumber who has just finished the trade test and wants practical experience. If you are still building your skills and want to learn on the job, this programme may be a good fit.

Tips before you apply

• Have your Plumber Trade Test Certificate and ID document ready, with a certified copy if you can.
• Show the date you passed your trade test on your CV, so it is clear you meet the four-year rule.
• Describe any hands-on plumbing work, training or tools you have used, even if it was during your apprenticeship.
