Take pride in your work? Join the Primrose Plumbing team.

Primrose Plumbing provides premium plumbing, heating and drainage services across London and Surrey. We’re looking for experienced Gas Safe registered plumbers and heating engineers who share our commitment to excellent workmanship, professional service and genuine respect for customers and their homes.

We also want to know what you’re working towards. Whether that’s buying your first home, supporting your family, developing your skills or taking on more responsibility, your ambitions matter to us. Our vision is to build a trusted plumbing brand that customers recommend and our people are proud to represent, and we want our engineers to move closer to their own goals along the way.

Be one of our Founding Engineers

Primrose Plumbing is a new company, and you’d be one of our very first engineers. You’ll help set the standards the business is built on, and be first in line as it grows.

In the early days, you’ll cover jobs right across London and Surrey, wherever the work is. In return, as a Founding Engineer you’ll:

• Help shape how we work, from our service standards to the tools we use
• Be first in line for team leader and senior roles as we grow
• Build your own book of loyal customers from day one

Places on the founding team are limited. If you want uncapped earnings, the security of being employed and a real chance to progress as we grow, we’d like to hear from you.

What we’re looking for

• Current ACS qualifications or a recognised equivalent
• At least five years’ plumbing and heating experience, including at least two years working on your own without supervision (self-employed experience welcome)
• Strong boiler diagnostics: confident finding and fixing faults first time, with no technical support on site
• Relevant plumbing and heating qualifications or a recognised equivalent
• A full UK driving licence
• Clear communication, reliability and a professional approach
• Confidence using a smartphone or tablet for job records
• Willingness to learn, take feedback and contribute to the team
• A plus: unvented hot-water qualifications, underfloor heating experience or drainage skills

The Primrose standard

Our engineers arrive professionally presented, protect customers’ homes, keep a clean and organised van, test their work properly and leave every work area clean.

We value honest recommendations, sound judgement and accountability. You should be comfortable explaining technical issues in plain English and helping customers decide without pressure. If something goes wrong, tell us promptly and help put it right. Quality and safety come first on every job.

We expect high standards, and we believe that works both ways: clear expectations, respectful communication, recognition for good work and real interest in your future.

How to apply

Send your CV with a short introduction covering:

• Your plumbing, heating and boiler diagnostic experience, including how long you’ve worked independently
• Your Gas Safe registration details and current qualifications
• Where you’re based and when you could start
• What you’d like to achieve over the next few years, and why Primrose could be the place to do it

Our process is a short phone call, an interview, qualification and reference checks, and a paid practical assessment. We’ll take time to understand your ambitions and make sure it’s the right fit for both of us.

Earnings are examples based on our pay plan for 40–48 hour weeks, and depend on the work you do.
