About Us:

At Plumbase, we are part of the largest independent networks of plumbing and heating merchants in the UK - over 310 sites nationwide. Our sites are run by people who know their customers, their stock, and their local market. That’s because we give them autonomy and ownership - not a one-size-fits-all script.

Job Summary

This is a varied, hands-on role split between working in the warehouse and making local customer deliveries. You'll help keep the warehouse running smoothly by receiving stock, picking and preparing customer orders, loading vehicles and keeping everything organised. You'll also get out on the road in our company van, delivering plumbing and heating products to trade customers across the local area.

Everyone in our site works together, so from time to time you'll also help out on the trade counter, serving customers and making sure they get the support they need.

You don't need previous plumbing and heating experience but it would certainly be helpful. We're looking for someone reliable, comfortable with physical work and happy to get stuck into whatever needs doing across the site..

- Experience in Commercial Driving, (including van or lorry) or experience in a warehouse environment 

- Strong customer relationship building ability

- Physically fit and comfortable with manual handling

- A team player with a positive, can-do attitude

- Good attention to detail and reliable timekeeping

Previous experience within a plumbing and heating merchant, builders' merchant or similar trade environment would be useful, but isn't essential.

What You’ll Get:

- Competitive salary + profit share

- Friendly team environment

- Opportunities to develop and progress within the business

- Work for one of the UK’s most respected independent plumbing merchants
