About you

You will have a minimum of City and Guilds level 2 (or equivalent NVQ) in Plumbing combined with significant work experience in a similar role. You should have excellent working knowledge and a good grasp of the Health and Safety practices associated with mechanical/building services.

You will be a hard working team player who takes a genuine pride in your work and someone who enjoys communicating with a range of people as you complete your daily duties. You will be happy working as part of a larger team to carry out reactive maintenance services across the University, supporting colleagues when the need arises.

If you are happy to be part of a rota to complete checks and willing to train and learn new skills, this role is for you.
