Distinguish installation from heating maintenance
Plumbing and heating jobs abroad do not all require the same skills: pipe installation, repairs, communal heating or equipment maintenance. Describe the systems you know and the interventions you genuinely perform independently. A precise account of diagnosis and customer contact helps an employer assess whether your experience matches the advertised work.
Check regulated technical qualifications
Work on certain equipment may require particular local qualifications or permissions. Request the exact list and the process for recognising your experience before making a commitment. Also clarify on-call duties, travel, vehicles and access to spare parts, since these factors shape the everyday reality of a mobile service position.
