We are seeking a formally qualified and experienced Plumber to join the property's support team and work closely with the Maintenance Manager to ensure that all plumbing systems, fixtures and related infrastructure are maintained to a consistently high standard.

Install, repair and replace plumbing equipment and components as required.
Assist with maintenance and repairs in guest accommodation, lodge facilities, staff areas and back-of-house infrastructure.

Conduct regular inspections to identify potential plumbing failures before they become major problems.
Assist with general maintenance projects where required and within the scope of your skills.
Work closely with the Maintenance Manager and broader maintenance team on planned maintenance programmes.
