Aren Heating & Plumbing is looking for an experienced Heating Engineer / Plumber to join our London-based team on a full-time PAYE basis.

This is a permanent employed role, not a subcontractor or self-employed position.

We specialise in reactive and planned plumbing and heating maintenance in occupied residential properties. Our work is scheduled realistically, allowing engineers the time to investigate properly, diagnose logically, and complete work to a high standard.

The Role

You will work independently across London carrying out a wide range of reactive and planned maintenance works in occupied homes, tenanted properties, and managed residential buildings.
