Job description

At Plumbase, we are part of the largest independent networks of plumbing and heating merchants in the UK - over 310 sites nationwide. Our sites are run by people who know their customers, their stock, and their local market. That’s because we give them autonomy and ownership - not a one-size-fits-all script.

• Good attention to detail and reliable time‑keeping
• Previous experience within a plumbing and heating merchant, builders' merchant or similar trade environment would be useful, but isn't essential.
