Job description

Things are busy, projects are coming in, and it's time to bring someone new onto the team. Ideally, someone who's confident on the tools and happy getting stuck into the work.

We're looking for a Plumber / Pipefitter with hands‑on experience, someone who's comfortable working alone or in a small team and ready to crack on with commercial installs, commercial plumbing, and all the pipework that comes with it.

If you've mostly worked in domestic but dipped into commercial now and then, great. If you're already used to plant rooms and bigger systems, even better. Gas is a bonus!

What you'll be working on:

• Commercial heating systems
• Commercial plumbing
• Pipework installs (15mm up to 110mm)
• Sanitary ware
• Gas work if qualified (not essential)

Who you are:

You've been on the tools long enough to know what good looks like. Maybe your background is domestic with bits of commercial, or maybe you're already used to bigger installs. Either way, you like variety, you like pace, and you're not someone who needs walking through every step.

Gas experience is a bonus, not a dealbreaker.

You'll probably:

• Step in and sort things without needing to be nudged.
• Get involved in whatever needs doing instead of saying "not my bit".
• Think ahead about where you want to go next in your career.
• Work well with others and keep jobs moving smoothly.
• Find solutions when something throws the plan off.
• Communicate clearly with colleagues, managers, and clients.
• Care about the detail.
• Spot ways to improve things, not just rush through them.

Qualifications & experience:

• Level 3 Plumbing (or equivalent)
• Around 5 years experience in plumbing, heating, or pipefitting
• Any commercial experience is a bonus
• Gas qualifications desirable
• Full UK Driving Licence

What's on offer:

• £35,000 to £40,000 depending on experience (employed)
• Company van
• Pension
• Team events throughout the year
