Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: ID copy, certified within the last three months, a CV with two contactable references from plumbing employers plus PIRB registration card.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around East London.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Mention how many geyser replacements you do in a normal month. It is the number most plumbing managers ask about.
Put your PIRB number at the top of your CV. Insurance contractors check it before they read anything else.
