We are looking for a qualified plumber to join our Dorset Gas team, to work alongside our Domestic Heating Engineers.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll be using your skills and experience to complete plumbing repair works in our properties across East Dorset, supporting the team to find a first-fix solution at every opportunity.

You’ll be working in our customer’s homes and sometimes in void properties, so you’ll have a customer service focus with an inquisitive mind to get to the bottom of the problems.

You’ll predominantly work alone but there is always someone on hand to support you where required.

Your tasks could include –

• Installation of new or extension of existing domestic hot water systems

About you:

• You’ll be able to identify causes and specify materials required to rectify plumbing issues.
• You’ll be working in a team of operatives, delivering excellent customer service working together to improve our customers homes. Teamwork and collaboration are essential to get the job done.
• You’ll be working in our communities, so being happy to communicate with both customers and colleagues will be really important.
• You’ll take pride in your customer service and endeavour to first fix at every opportunity.

We will supply a company vehicle to get you around, so you’ll need a full, UK driving licence.

You’ll need to be willing and able to take part in an out of hours rota. You’ll also be willing and able to comply with facefit regulations.
