Mobile Plumber — London & Southeast

JLL | Workplace Management

You're qualified, experienced, and capable of handling complex commercial systems. But you're stuck doing the same domestic work on repeat, chasing payment, or working for outfits that vanish when the van needs servicing.

What if your plumbing expertise could take you somewhere that actually invests in you? Where you work on quality commercial properties, get properly equipped from day one, and have real career options beyond "senior plumber" at age 55.

We're looking for mobile plumbers who want more than just another maintenance contract. At JLL, you get the stability, kit, backup, and progression that smaller firms can't match.

Why plumbers choose JLL

Actually equipped to do your job
Company vehicle from day one, tablet, phone, and parking expense card. You shouldn't be spending your own money to make someone else's business work.

Work that uses your skills
Commercial properties across London and the Southeast means proper systems — heating controls, pressurized water supplies, complex drainage, and plant room equipment. Not unblocking the same toilet in the same house every fortnight.

Pay and security worth having
Competitive salary with transparent structure, not day rates that vanish when work dries up. The stability of a FTSE 250 company with blue-chip clients and long-term contracts.

Career progression that's real
Clear pathways to senior engineer, supervisor, and facilities management roles. We promote from within because developing talent makes more sense than constantly recruiting replacements.

Backup when you need it
Regional engineering teams, technical support, and site management who actually answer the phone. You're mobile, not abandoned — there's a difference.

Development you'll use
Professional development opportunities, updated certifications, and exposure to modern building systems and FM best practices. Keep your skills current and marketable.

Benefits that matter
Comprehensive pension, healthcare options, and employee wellbeing support. The kind of package that smaller operations can't afford to offer.

The complete package

Core compensation:

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Realistic scope for progression and pay growth
• Stable monthly income, not uncertain day rates

Fully equipped:

• Company vehicle for mobile operations
• Tablet and phone provided
• Parking expense card
• All necessary tools and equipment

Security & benefits:

• Comprehensive pension scheme
• Healthcare options
• Life assurance
• Employee wellbeing programs

Professional development:

• Training and certification support
• Career pathways within JLL's global network
• Exposure to cutting-edge FM practices
• Technical upskilling opportunities

What you'll be doing

You'll be the go-to plumber across a portfolio of commercial buildings in London and the Southeast, handling both reactive emergencies and planned preventative maintenance.

Your day involves diagnosing faults efficiently, implementing cost-effective repairs, and maintaining water supply systems, drainage, heating systems, and sanitary facilities across quality commercial properties. You'll respond to emergency callouts (including out-of-hours rota coverage), coordinate with site teams to minimize disruption, and maintain accurate records through JLL's computerized maintenance system via your company tablet.

This means working independently across multiple sites, making professional decisions, and being the face of JLL's engineering excellence to building occupants and clients. You'll provide technical advice, ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, and deliver the kind of service that keeps major clients coming back.

Real variety. Real responsibility. Real commercial plumbing, not domestic odd jobs dressed up as facilities management.

What we need from you

Essential qualifications:

• City & Guilds plumbing certification or equivalent
• Full UK driving licence (essential for mobile role)
• Minimum 3 years' commercial plumbing maintenance experience
• Preferably with facilities management background

Technical expertise:

• Knowledge of current plumbing regulations and building standards
• Understanding of water systems, heating controls, and commercial drainage
• Confident working on pressurized systems and complex plant room equipment
• Strong diagnostic and problem-solving abilities

Professional capability:

• Ability to work independently and manage your own schedule
• Strong prioritization skills for handling multiple urgent requests
• Excellent communication for client interaction and clear reporting
• Professional demeanor representing JLL on prestigious sites

The JLL difference: We're looking for plumbers who want to grow professionally, not just collect a wage. Someone who takes pride in quality work, understands that commercial clients demand higher standards, and sees this as a career move rather than just another job.

What you can expect from us

You'll join a professional engineering community within one of the world's leading real estate and facilities management companies. That means proper support, quality sites, modern systems, and genuine opportunities to develop your career beyond the tools.

At JLL, your technical expertise combines with real career development. You'll work on landmark properties, collaborate with skilled colleagues, and have access to training and progression that smaller firms simply cannot offer.

This is your chance to use your plumbing skills somewhere they're genuinely valued — and where "mobile plumber" is a starting point, not a life sentence.
