Job description

Do you enjoy a varied role where no day is the same? Do you have a range of practical skills to offer? Are you seeking a new challenge with additional responsibilities?

If so, our Bioresources team have a great role for you to join us as an Asset improvement team leader.

The role will involve working across eight Bioresources sites, which are located throughout the entire Wessex Water region, with a base location at Yeovil.

What you'll do

We are looking for a skilled, practical and self-motivated individual to support our Bioresources team. This rewarding role will see you ensure our assets remain serviceable and safe.

Within the role, you will be expected to work both individually and as part of a team while repairing and maintaining various assets. These include waste treatment process and civil assets on our Bioresources centres, including general maintenance and repairs on buildings and welfare facilities.

Typical day-to-day duties may include painting, fitting/repairing doors, concreting and general building and ground maintenance works, such as footpaths and fencing.

Your work will involve a mixture of indoor and outdoor work, which will include installing and maintaining pathways, track repairs, emergency site security works and health and safety works.

Additionally, the role will involve performing maintenance work on our process assets, such as settlement tank cleans and repairs, and clean water legionella tank cleans, while also working on various process plants, including Lagoons, reed beds and biological filters.

You will be:

• scoping planned and ad hoc maintenance requests
• utilising resources effectively and assisting with the scheduling of work
• the point of contact for the Asset team's Improvement Operators and the wider Bioresources team
• driving ownership and ensuring works are completed safely to a high standard
• Working closely with the Regional Bioresources Operations Manager to limit the use of contractors and external spend.

PPE, tools, training, and a company van will be provided.

What you'll need

We are looking for someone from a building maintenance/groundworks background, who has qualifications or knowledge and experience of concrete, brick and block works.

You will ideally have carpentry skills and a knowledge of basic plumbing with relevant plant tickets to operate small plant (or a willingness to obtain these).

You will have a strong understanding of health, safety and welfare and will be a self-motivated, effective communicator with personal drive. In addition to this, you should have basic IT skills to work with our in-house systems.

Most important is the ability and willingness to work as part of a team to overcome any challenges presented on a day-to-day basis and deliver outputs.

Please note, you will need a valid, clean driving licence due to the remote nature of the role.

What you'll receive

• A combined pension contribution of up to 20%.
• Career progression and professional development opportunities.
• 25 days' holiday rising to 28 with length of service.
• The opportunity to buy up to ten days' holiday and sell up to five every year.
• A healthcare package that allows you to claim back healthcare costs.
• Life assurance of up to eight times your salary.
• A new electric car in exchange for part of your gross salary, subject to conditions.
• Cashback and discounts from more than 3,000 retailers.
• One paid volunteering day each year.
• Enhanced family leave and pay arrangements.
• An interactive health and wellbeing platform.
• Support from mental health first aiders.
• A £1,000 referral fee if you recommend someone to work for us.
