The Opportunity

A growing building services and compliance business is looking to appoint an experienced Water Services Manager / Plumbing & Drainage Supervisor to oversee reactive and planned plumbing, drainage and water hygiene operations across a varied commercial portfolio.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong plumbing, drainage or water hygiene background who has progressed into a supervisory or operational management role. The successful candidate will lead engineers, coordinate subcontractors and support the operational growth of the division.

• Reactive plumbing and drainage works

You’ll also be responsible for organising workloads, supporting engineers, liaising with clients and ensuring service standards are maintained across the contract portfolio.

• Managing reactive plumbing and drainage works across commercial sites
• Supervising engineers and coordinating subcontractors
• Overseeing water hygiene compliance activities linked to ACOP L8 regulations
• Reviewing reports, testing records and remedial recommendations
• Managing day-to-day client communication and operational issues
• Organising reactive callouts and engineer attendance
• Supporting quotations and remedial recommendations where required
• Ensuring works are completed safely and in line with compliance standards
• Driving service standards and supporting operational growth of the division
