This isn't a domestic plumbing role and it isn't a role where you'll spend your days fitting bathrooms in empty properties. You'll be working within a busy manufacturing environment where your skills directly contribute to keeping facilities operational for thousands of people every day.

Whether it's resolving a drainage issue before it impacts operations, repairing a leaking water system, improving welfare facilities, or supporting planned maintenance activities during shutdown periods, your work will help keep a major automotive manufacturing facility running smoothly.

  • Experience working within Facilities Management, Building Services, Industrial Maintenance or Manufacturing.

  • Strong plumbing fault\-finding and diagnostic skills.

  • Experience maintaining commercial hot and cold\-water systems.

  • Experience maintaining drainage systems and associated infrastructure.
What's in it for you?* £30,000 \- £31,800 basic salary (dependent on experience) plus 20% shift allowance (equivalent to approximately £36,000 \- £38,160 annual earnings before overtime).
  • 23\.5 shifts annual leave (inclusive of Bank Holidays), pension scheme and Mi Deals employee benefits platform.

  • Ongoing training and development, overtime opportunities and career progression opportunities.
A Typical Shift Could Include* Investigating a drainage blockage within a welfare facility.
  • Repairing a leaking pipework system.

  • Replacing a faulty flush valve or tap.

  • Carrying out maintenance on under\-sink pumping equipment.

  • Inspecting drainage infrastructure.

  • Completing a plumbing modification to support an improvement project.

  • Supporting maintenance activities during a planned production shutdown.

  • Updating work orders and recording completed tasks within Maximo.

  • Working alongside engineers from other disciplines to deliver site improvements.
Desirable Skills \& Experience* Manufacturing or automotive industry experience.
  • Experience using Maximo or similar CAFM systems.

  • Knowledge of calorifiers, expansion vessels, control valves, point\-of\-use water heaters, under\-sink pumps and wastewater systems.

  • IPAF qualification.

  • PASMA qualification.

  • Confined Space Awareness.

  • Previous experience working on a shift\-based maintenance team.
