• Sound understanding of domestic and commercial pipework systems.
• Strong problem-solving and diagnostic skills with the ability to think on your feet.
• Excellent customer service and communication skills.
• A self-motivated, professional work ethic.
• Full UK driving licence (no more than 6 points).
