Plumber Job Description: Milton Keynes MK9
Our client, a leading property maintenance and facilities management company operating across Milton Keynes, requires a skilled and reliable Plumber to join their dynamic team. This role is centred on providing high-quality domestic and commercial plumbing services to a portfolio of residential properties, office buildings, and retail units primarily within the MK9 postcode and its environs. You will be responsible for both reactive maintenance calls and planned preventative work, ensuring all plumbing systems are installed, repaired, and maintained to the highest industry standards. The client prides itself on excellent customer service and technical excellence, values they seek in every tradesperson they employ.
By applying through StaffDirect, you gain direct access to this and many other exclusive Plumber in Milton Keynes MK9 opportunities. We act as your advocate, handling the logistics and negotiation so you can focus on your trade. Whether you're looking for an immediate start to bridge a gap between contracts or seeking a longer-term position that could become permanent, registering with a specialist local agency like ours dramatically increases your visibility to employers who need skilled labour fast. We understand the local market's demands, from large-scale new builds in Broughton to maintenance contracts across the city centre, and we match our candidates to roles that fit their expertise and career goals.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties
- Perform installation, maintenance, and repair of domestic and commercial plumbing systems, including hot & cold water supplies, sanitation pipework, and drainage.
- Diagnose and troubleshoot complex plumbing faults efficiently, from leaking taps and blocked drains to central heating issues and broken toilets.
- Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedules on client sites, completing necessary documentation and ensuring compliance with water regulations.
- Work collaboratively with other trades on site, such as gas engineers and electricians, to ensure integrated and seamless service delivery.
- Provide exceptional customer service, clearly explaining work required, maintaining a clean and tidy work area, and adhering to all health and safety protocols.
Essential Skills & Candidate Requirements
- Fully qualified with a recognised plumbing qualification (e.g., NVQ Level 2/3, City & Guilds) and a minimum of 3 years' proven experience in a similar role.
- Strong, practical knowledge of current UK plumbing regulations and building codes. Knowledge of unvented hot water systems (G3) is highly advantageous.
- Must possess a full UK driving licence and your own reliable transport, as travel between sites in Milton Keynes and nearby areas like Bletchley and Newport Pagnell is required.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, a proactive attitude, and the ability to work independently as well as part of a team. A strong focus on quality and safety is non-negotiable.
