Maintenance Plumber

We now have an exciting opportunity for an experienced maintenance plumber to join our team on a key NHS site based in Homerton, London. This team delivers a first-class repairs service in partnership with an NHS Trust. The role will entail reactive/responsive repairs, as well as statutory checks on this NHS contract.

Rydon Maintenance is an expanding division of the Rydon Group and is successfully providing facilities management services to a variety of clients, predominantly within the healthcare sector, providing planned, preventative and reactive maintenance. For over 40 years, we've recruited talented and innovative people to build and maintain homes, schools, hospitals, student accommodation and more.

We recognise that it s our people who make Rydon the success it is today and we understand the importance of career development and training. We re continuously investing in our people and this is what makes us one of the leading employers in our industry.

Job Purpose

Our maintenance and repairs team have been appointed to provide a planned and reactive maintenance service to our NHS client. As part of this maintenance role, you will provide repairs to a busy healthcare site in Homerton, London. There will be a particular emphasis on plumbing maintenance and repairs but the ideal candidate would be willing and have the ability to get involved in a variety of other general building maintenance tasks.

This role will see the successful candidate undertake works including reactive and PPM (Planned Preventative Maintenance). Works could include leak detection/repair, replacement pipeworks, water temperature checks, plant room/boiler room checks, flushing, servicing and/or replacement of thermostatic mixer valves, water sampling and much more.

Normal working hours are 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday. There is also the opportunity to participate in an on-call rota system (which offers the opportunity to increase your earnings and be involved in additional urgent repairs).

The role is based on a static site, however, from time to time, you may be asked to attend other local sites. In this event, you will be provided with a pool van in order to attend these sites, when on-call and for the collection of materials as needed.

The role provides a very diverse range of activities and as such will provide a great opportunity to use a wide range of skills.

Experience Required

Previous relevant experience in the maintenance of buildings is essential, ideally within the NHS (or for a maintenance contractor providing services to the NHS). That said this is by no means essential and candidates with experience of providing planned/reactive maintenance in a commercial/education environment (such as hotels, supermarkets, schools etc) will also be considered.

The successful candidate will hold an NVQ level 2 or 3 in plumbing and be able to demonstrate excellent attention to detail, be used to working within strict procedures to maintain safety and have excellent customer/communication skills.

This is a genuinely diverse role with excellent scope for personal development. If you have the above skills and experience, we'd strongly encourage you to apply.

Additional Information

As a well established, progressive company we are committed to attracting and retaining individuals by offering an excellent benefits package that includes a wide range of core and voluntary benefits.

Rydon is an equal opportunities employer and promotes diversity in employment. Successful candidates will be selected solely on their ability to carry out the duties of the post.
