Plumber

Company: Branta Recruitment Ltd
Apply for the Plumber
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Job Description:

We are seeking a detail‑driven, forward‑thinking Maintenance Plumber to join our permanent engineering team in Newcastle. Say goodbye to fighting traffic across the North East and running through endless domestic call‑outs. This is a static commercial role, meaning you will be based permanently across a premium portfolio of modern commercial buildings, corporate hubs, and high‑footfall facility assets right here in the city.

Key Responsibilities & Operational Impact

  • Commercial Systems Upkeep: Execute day‑to‑day reactive repairs, diagnostic fault‑finding, and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) across high‑pressure cold and hot water systems, drainage networks, and commercial building facilities.
  • Plant Room Operations: Monitor and maintain central heating arrays, booster sets, thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs), and large‑scale mechanical pipework loops.
  • Compliance Testing: Take ownership of statutory safety logs, including routine Legionella water‑hygiene monitoring and temperature tracking across the estate register.

What We Are Looking For

  • Qualifications: NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Plumbing and Heating (or equivalent time‑served city & guilds plumbing credentials).
  • Experience: Proven track record working within commercial facilities, heavy industrial properties, social housing maintenance, or multi‑site estate environments.
  • Mindset: A proactive problem solver who prioritizes Health & Safety, values accuracy, and takes pride in a “right first‑time” approach to building fabric and asset care.
  • Technical Comfort: Comfortable reading mechanical layout drawings and working alongside broader electrical and HVAC engineering crews.

Why Join Us?

  • No Commute Stress: Static site framework based solely in Newcastle—your location stays consistent.
  • Fully Funded Upskilling: We map out an individual training budget for you from day one, covering high‑value technical tickets, gas certifications, and renewables courses.
  • Defined Progression: A transparent career ladder that rewards technical skill and leadership growth, guiding you smoothly toward Senior or Supervisor status.
