• Support the notifications and consent process for plumbing installation on new build developments and development of existing premises carried out under Regulation 5 of the Water Fittings Regulations.
• Identify high risk water connections and ensure regular inspection and monitoring.
• Communicate effectively with customers regarding non-compliance issues, outlining required actions, priorities, and agreed timescales for resolution.
• Produce reports and undertake approved plumber audits as required.
• Facilitate other asset site inspections as required.
• Attend training to ensure skills are kept up to date and modern standards are applied and maintained

About You

• You will have a good understanding of Water Fittings Regulations. 
• You will be able to produce clear, detailed, written reports. 
• You will be comfortable with using computers and digital tools. 
• You will be well organised, with a sharp eye for details. 
• You will be confident when dealing with challenging situations, with a strong track record of delivering excellent customer service.
