Careers

With over 40 years of hands-on experience and established as a company in 2010 as Christy Plumbing & Heating Ltd, we are a family-owned plumbing and heating company working across the domestic and commercial sectors.

We install, service, and repair all types of plumbing, heating, and hot water appliances.

Serving hundreds of local schools and businesses, as well as thousands of local residential customers, we have steadily built the business up from solely Lawrence Christy to a current core team of twelve.

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and industrious team, always looking for people with the same attitude.

We are always interested in hearing from experienced installers and engineers who might like to join our team on a full-time, part-time, or subcontract basis.

We have a consistent programme of taking on apprentices, and although the positions are highly sought after, we promise that if you send in your CV, we will keep it on file and contact you if a position arises.

Benefits of working with us

Competitive Salaries for Skilled Plumbers & Heating Engineers

At Christy Plumbing & Heating, we regularly review industry rates to ensure our team earns competitive pay that meets—or exceeds—current market standards. We believe in rewarding experience, skill, and dedication. Simply put: the better you are, the more you earn.

All Power & Hand Tools Provided – With an Annual Tool Budget

If you come with your own tools, then that’s a bonus, but as they break or wear out, we will provide you with an annual tool budget.

Branded Workwear Provided & Replenished Annually

As part of the Christy Plumbing & Heating team, you’ll be fully kitted out with professional, branded workwear, replenished every year. We believe in looking the part because every team member represents our reputation for quality, professionalism, and trust across Bedford and Bedfordshire.

Company Van Provided for Qualified Engineers
If you hold a clean UK driving licence, are NVQ Level 2 qualified (or higher), and can work independently, Christy Plumbing & Heating will provide you with a fully sign-written company van. It’s just one of the ways we support our skilled engineers working across Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas.
Flexible Working Hours to Suit Your Lifestyle

Although our standard working hours are 8 am-5 pm, if you would prefer to do part-time or full-time or work a Saturday and have a day off mid-week, that’s fine by us.

All PPE Provided for Safe, Professional Work

At Christy Plumbing & Heating, the safety of our team is a top priority. We supply all required personal protective equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety boots, gloves, and knee pads—especially important when working on commercial sites. Regular checks ensure all gear meets the latest safety standards, so you can focus on the job with confidence.

Tailored Training & Career Development Opportunities
At Christy Plumbing & Heating, we’re committed to helping our team grow. Whether you want to expand your skills in plumbing, heating, renewables, or leadership, we’ll support you with relevant training opportunities. Through regular team appraisals, we work with you to build a personalised career development plan that benefits both you and the business.
Bonuses & Overtime Opportunities Available

If you need to put in more hours to save up for something special, we can look to book you in for extra work. However, when the Company does well so do you too  and we reflect this in ad hoc bonuses.

Team Events, Trade Fairs & Charity Support
At Christy Plumbing & Heating, we believe in building a strong, supportive team culture. From our annual Christmas meal for all staff and subcontractors to fun team outings like bowling or laser tag, we make time to connect outside of work. We also attend industry trade fairs to stay ahead, and if you want to organise a charity fundraiser, we’re proud to support your efforts.
28 Days Paid Annual Leave – Including Bank Holidays

We provide 28 days annual leave including bank holidays and manage this through a software programme so you can see what leave you have remaining.

Every day is a school day

No two days are the same, you will gain a far greater experience than anywhere else and learn something new every day. So, if you like to be challenged yet supported, then Christy Plumbing & Heating is the right match for you.
