Utilities Fitter

One of the most important objectives for us all at SES Water is the reduction of leaks and maintenance of our networks. We're currently in a good position with a full reservoir and water stores, but we can't afford to rely on continuous heavy rainfall for our supply. We need to ensure we don't waste a drop.

All of us at SES Water, regardless of whether we are office or field based, share values of Service, Integrity, Collaboration, Commitment, Compassion and Innovation. In practice, this means we provide our customers (who are very often our colleagues too) with great support and customer care.

As a part of this incredible support network, we are recruiting for an experienced Repair and Maintenance (Utilities) Fitter to join our R&M team. Already experienced within a similar environment you will be excavating and repairing all sizes of pipe and overseeing the work of a trainee.

Sounds easy? It's hard manual work. Our network infrastructure comes in all shapes and sizes and often needs attention outside of office hours in driving wind, pouring rain, sleet or snow.

Don't worry, we provide protective (and warm) clothing and you'll be well recompensed for standby and rota'd weekends.

The Role:

• Maintaining our high standards for customers, Health and Safety requirements, and environmental considerations.
• Excavating, and repairing all sizes of pipe and ancillary apparatus within the water mains network
• Loading and unloading materials, backfilling and reinstatement excavations.
• Daily vehicle and plant maintenance checks
• Recording all details of work carried out on site

Requirements:

• Experience within a similar environment
• Cat C1 driving license
• The ability to use a range of tools, load and unload materials
• Natural ability to respond to customers in a polite and professional manner

Although it is not essential it would be ideal if you have an EUSR Water Hygiene Card and NRSWA Streetworks Qualification (including signing, lighting and guarding).
