We're a people first business with a strong culture of support, recognition, and professional growth. Whether you're tackling a reactive repair or mentoring the next generation of plumbers, you'll have the tools, training, and trust to do your best work every day.

What will I be doing?

You'll be part of our skilled Mechanical Team, working independently and collaboratively to complete remedial and reactive plumbing tasks. Every day will bring something different, but you can expect to:

• Carry out plumbing works safely and efficiently, following SMS Method Statements.
• Undertake water testing, sampling, and tank disinfection alongside Water Treatment Engineers.
• Identify non compliances and report system conditions to Account Managers.
• Use Opuz software and your company iPad to complete accurate reports.
• Support the development of new plumbers and share your knowledge.
• Uphold the highest health and safety standards across every task.
• You'll be trusted to take ownership of your work - and you'll always know help is just a call away when you need it.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their trade and works with integrity and precision. You'll need:

• NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent) in Plumbing
• Full UK Manual Driving Licence
• Minimum 2 years' plumbing experience, ideally within the water hygiene industry
• Confidence working independently and safely on site
• Strong communication skills and a customer focused mindset

If you've got experience in commercial or domestic environments or knowledge of legionella control, even better!
