POSITION INFO :

About the Role: We’re looking for a high-performing, hands-on Regional Manager to grow our Service & Maintenance division in Gauteng.

Our current focus is on the installation and maintenance of the company’s water-saving technology across commercial buildings — shopping malls, schools, libraries, retail centres, and major property portfolios. Building on this strong base, we’re now expanding to offer a complete commercial plumbing service, becoming our clients’ one-stop plumbing partner.

This is an exciting senior opportunity for a commercially driven, technically skilled professional who combines deep plumbing expertise with proven success in winning new business, managing teams, and delivering projects to the highest standard.

What You’ll Do

• Expand our services into general commercial plumbing, installations, and maintenance contracts.
• Develop and grow the Service & Maintenance business in Gauteng, with full accountability for performance and profitability of new business.
• Win and manage preventive and reactive maintenance contracts (including SLAs) for blue-chip and multi-site clients.
• Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with property owners, facilities managers, and contractors.
• Survey and assess projects in person before pricing, ensuring accurate scopes, material take-offs, and costings.
• Prepare competitive, commercially sound quotations for projects large and small.
• Once awarded, brief and translate jobs clearly to the plumbing and execution teams, ensuring understanding of timelines, specifications, and customer expectations.
• Oversee scheduling, resourcing, and on-site delivery to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency.
• Collaborate with internal teams in Operations, Procurement to ensure consistent service delivery.
• Report regularly on performance, pipeline, and regional growth.

What You’ll Bring

• Qualified Plumber with an extensive plumbing background, ideally having worked “on the tools” before moving into management.
• Proven experience running or managing commercial plumbing or maintenance businesses.
• Demonstrable success surveying, pricing, and delivering complex projects.
• Strong track record of winning new business and securing long-term service contracts with blue-chip organisations.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills — able to brief, motivate, and manage teams effectively.
• Deep understanding of commercial plumbing systems, materials, and pricing structures.
• A driven, hands-on, and resilient approach — thrives under pressure and leads by example.
• Based in Gauteng, with a valid driver’s licence and own vehicle.
• A strong existing network of commercial or property clients in the region.

Personal Attributes

• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong commercial acumen.
• Practical, detail-focused, and proactive.
• Excellent communicator — clear, structured, and confident.
• Conscientious and hardworking — takes pride in delivering quality work.
• Comfortable working at pace and “rolling up your sleeves” when needed.

What We Offer

• A senior leadership role in a fast-growing, innovative company.
• Competitive base salary plus performance-based incentives.
• The autonomy to shape and grow a regional business.
• A collaborative, forward-thinking culture built on trust and accountability.
