Plumbing, heating & drainage — Tyne and Wear

Plumbing, heating & drainage careers in Tyne and Wear

We recruit Gas Safe plumbers, heating engineers, and drainage specialists (CCTV, jetting, unblock & repair), plus vetted subcontractors — employed van roles and work-pipeline partnerships where it fits.

Tyne and Wear remains one of the busiest corridors we recruit for — dense housing, mixed stock from Tyneside terraces to new riverside apartments, and steady demand for reactive and planned work. Whether you are based in Newcastle, Gateshead, or along the coast, we route jobs so you are not burning hours on empty miles.

We hire Gas Safe plumbers and heating engineers for employed roles with a fully equipped van, and we partner with self-employed engineers who want a predictable flow of booked work without chasing quotes. Drainage and multi-trade enquiries are welcome where qualifications match.

Coverage focus: Typical runs include Newcastle city centre and suburbs, Gateshead and the MetroCentre belt, Sunderland and the Wear corridor, and the Tyne mouth towns from North Shields through to South Shields.

Why work with us in this area

  • High job density — short drives between domestic callouts and larger installs.
  • Clear escalation to senior engineers when jobs need an extra pair of hands.
  • Mix of emergency, service, and project work so the week stays varied.

Frequently asked questions — Tyne and Wear

Yes. Gateshead shares the same Tyne and Wear recruitment pipeline as Newcastle — apply for Tyne and Wear and tell us if you prefer to be routed toward Gateshead, the Team Valley area, or the coast side.

Both. We maintain employed roles with a company van for engineers who want a wage and kit, and we work with limited-company subcontractors who invoice for completed work. Pick the path that fits on the main careers page.

Gas Safe registration is essential for gas heating work. For pure plumbing without gas, we still expect trade competency and relevant insurance if you are self-employed.

If your documents and checks are in order, many engineers begin within a short onboarding window — we will confirm timelines after your application.
