About the Role

We are looking for an experienced, reliable and hardworking New Build Plumber / Gas Installer to join our team, working across large-scale new-build developments for major national housebuilders throughout the Midlands.

Our developments cover 200+ plots per site, so we need a tradesperson who understands the demands of high-volume housebuilding and can work efficiently to meet construction programmes and deadlines.
