The Plumber will maintain, inspect, and repair the site's full-scope plumbing and water infrastructure, spanning general pipework and fixtures, borehole and pressure/pumping systems, water storage tanks, and the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).
The role requires a technician confident working independently on routine PPM and fault-finding across both general plumbing and specialist treatment-plant systems, in a live, 24/7, high-footfall environment.
Key Responsibilities
Carry out scheduled PPM and repairs on general plumbing systems: pipework, fixtures, fittings, water heaters, and drainage across all zones.
Maintain and monitor borehole, pumps, pressure management systems, and water storage tanks to ensure consistent water supply.
Support day-to-day operation and maintenance of the Water Treatment Plant (WTP), including filtration, dosing, and water quality checks.
Support day-to-day operation and maintenance of the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), including biological system checks, chemical dosing, and effluent quality monitoring.
Diagnose and repair leaks, blockages, and pipework faults promptly to minimise disruption and water loss.
Carry out routine water quality and compliance checks in line with regulatory requirements (e.g. NESREA/NAFDAC-aligned standards) and internal procedures.
Maintain accurate maintenance logs, test results, and defect reports using the facility's CMMS/CAFM platform.
Respond promptly to plumbing and water-system emergency call-outs, including out-of-hours where required.
Follow safe isolation and permit-to-work procedures at all times, including safe handling of treatment chemicals; no bypassing of safety systems under any circumstance.
Liaise with the Plumbing Lead/Chief Engineer on parts requisition, defect escalation, and PPM scheduling.
Requirements and Qualifications
OND / HND or Trade Certificate in Plumbing, Mechanical Engineering, Water/Environmental Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
3 - 6 years' hands-on experience in commercial/industrial plumbing, with exposure to pressure systems, pumps, and water storage infrastructure.
Working knowledge of, or willingness to be trained on, WTP/STP operations filtration, chemical dosing, and biological treatment processes.
Basic understanding of water quality and effluent compliance requirements is an advantage.
Comfortable working with a CMMS/CAFM system for logging maintenance activity (training provided if not previously used).
Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills, with a methodical, safety-first approach to work.
Willingness to work shifts, be on standby/on-call, and respond to emergency call-outs outside normal hours.
Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a wider engineering team on a live operational site.
Physically fit and able to work in plant-room/industrial environments, including confined spaces where applicable.
