Do you have a passion for sustainability and want to help reduce water waste across one of the UK's largest hotel brands? If yes, our Plumber (Water Efficiency) position might be the right next move for you.

Your Purpose

As a Plumber within our Water & Electrical Efficiency Team, you will travel across the UK delivering plumbing repairs, water efficiency improvements and leak investigations throughout the Travelodge estate. Supporting our Better Future sustainability plan, you will help reduce water consumption by carrying out remedial works, installing water-saving solutions and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency across our hotels.
