The role

ROLE: Plumbing & Drainage Engineer
HOURS: 07:00 - 19:00, 4 On 4 Off (Days)
LOCATION: Toyota Manufacturing UK, Burnaston, Derbyshire

This isn't a domestic plumbing role and it isn't a role where you'll spend your days fitting bathrooms in empty properties. You'll be working within a busy manufacturing environment where your skills directly contribute to keeping facilities operational for thousands of people every day.

Whether it's resolving a drainage issue before it impacts operations, repairing a leaking water system, improving welfare facilities, or supporting planned maintenance activities during shutdown periods, your work will help keep a major automotive manufacturing facility running smoothly.

What you'll do

  • Carry out planned preventative maintenance (PPM) activities.
  • Respond to plumbing and drainage-related breakdowns and defects.
  • Diagnose and repair faults on hot and cold-water systems.
  • Maintain and repair sanitary ware, taps, valves and associated plumbing equipment.
  • Investigate and resolve drainage blockages and system failures.

How you'll work

  • Investigating a drainage blockage within a welfare facility.
  • Repairing a leaking pipework system.
  • Replacing a faulty flush valve or tap.
  • Carrying out maintenance on under-sink pumping equipment.
  • Inspecting drainage infrastructure.
  • Completing a plumbing modification to support an improvement project.
  • Supporting maintenance activities during a planned production shutdown.
  • Updating work orders and recording completed tasks within Maximo.
  • Working alongside engineers from other disciplines to deliver site improvements.

Required Qualifications:

Applicants must meet the below defined requirements for the role.

  • NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 in Plumbing & Heating (or equivalent).
  • Experience working within Facilities Management, Building Services, Industrial Maintenance or Manufacturing.
  • Strong plumbing fault-finding and diagnostic skills.
  • Experience maintaining commercial hot and cold-water systems.
  • Experience maintaining drainage systems and associated infrastructure.
