Who We're Looking ForExperienced Engineers
We are looking for engineers who can confidently carry out plumbing and heating work to a high standard and take responsibility for their installations.
Experience with heat pumps, air conditioning or bathrooms would be beneficial, but training can be provided.
Newly Qualified Engineers
We are happy to consider engineers who have recently completed their plumbing and heating qualifications and are looking for an opportunity to gain experience.
You do not need to know everything from day one. We are looking for someone who has a good foundation, takes pride in their work and wants to become a highly capable engineer.
Apprentices
We would also consider apprentices who are currently completing, or looking to begin, a plumbing and heating apprenticeship.
For apprentices, previous site experience is useful but not essential.
More importantly, we are looking for someone who:
- Wants to build a long-term career in the industry
- Is willing to learn
- Turns up reliably and on time
- Listens and takes instruction
- Takes pride in their work
- Is not afraid of physical work
- Wants to develop practical skills on site
- Is willing to work across plumbing, heating, bathrooms, heat pumps and air conditioning
