• Be a qualified plumber with an NVQ Level 3 in Plumbing (or equivalent)
• Have proven industry experience
• Be confident working independently and able to diagnose, plan and complete jobs without supervision
• Be able to manage their own workload efficiently
• Have excellent fault-finding and problem-solving skills
• Take pride in producing high-quality workmanship
• Be organised and able to plan and manage their day efficiently
• Be reliable, punctual and professional
• Have excellent customer service and communication skills
• Hold a full UK driving licence
• Have their own van and tools
• Gas Safe registration would be advantageous but is not essential
• Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Unvented Hot Water Systems would be advantageous but is not essential
• Have the right to work in the UK

What we offer
• £20.00–£22.00 per hour (depending on experience)
• Fuel card provided for business use
• Potential for overtime
• Emergency call-out work will be introduced as the business continues to grow, providing additional earning opportunities
• 28 days’ annual leave, including bank holidays
• Monday to Thursday: 8:00am – 5:00pm with a 30-minute unpaid lunch break
• Friday: 8:00am – 1:30pm, provided 40 working hours were completed during the previous working week
• Christmas bonus
• Full-time, permanent position
• Immediate start available
• Genuine opportunities for career progression as the company continues to grow
