As a Mechanical Services plumber, you have a wide range of responsibilities, which range from water production, maintaining the station heating systems and sewage to fixing the Coke machine!

One of the most important jobs is the production of water which is used for drinking, heating and fire fighting.

Unlike your counterparts in Australia, you cannot just go out and buy spare parts when you need them, so you will need to be resourceful at times.

Your skills may also be called upon at times to support various science projects, so the work is constantly varied and interesting.

Still interested?
