PLUMBER – £38,000 | Full-Time | 39 Hours per Week | Based in Rutland
If you’re a qualified Plumber ready for stability, variety and pride in every job—this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
About the Organisation
This isn’t a construction site or a housing contract. This is a large, prestigious, high-spec estate — made up of historic buildings, modern facilities, residential properties, and commercial spaces — all maintained to exceptional standards. The in-house Estates team takes real ownership of the work they do, and the Plumber role is at the heart of keeping this estate safe, warm and functioning with precision.
About the Job
This Plumber role offers far more than reactive callouts. It’s about full-scope mechanical maintenance and upgrades across a truly unique environment.
The successful Plumber will carry out repairs, maintenance, and installations across a range of systems and structures — including domestic and commercial heating, hot and cold water systems, pipework, pumps, PRVs, and expansion vessels. Projects range from servicing and fault-finding to supporting full-scale system replacements, with digital job management via a tablet for full transparency and efficiency.
Working as part of a highly skilled Estates team, the Plumber will contribute to the smooth running of an exceptional estate that values craftsmanship, attention to detail, and long-term reliability.

Why This Plumber Role Stands Out
For the right Plumber, this is a dream job: job security, genuine variety, and the chance to work somewhere that values professionalism over rushed patch jobs. You’ll enjoy every day knowing your work has a visible impact on a stunning estate — and you’ll be supported by a team that takes as much pride in their standards as you do.
