As part of the Field Services team, you will carry out installation, calibration and maintenance of Detectronic's Smart Flow and Level monitors in the wastewater network. There may also be a requirement to travel to other parts of the UK when needed.

What you'll need to bring:

• Ability to work safely and effectively on your own or as a two or three person crew installing and maintaining equipment onsite, diagnosing problems and taking appropriate action with minimal supervision.
• You’ll be resourceful, hands‑on and practical (you will be required to enter confined spaces).
• A full clean UK driving licence, held for at least 2 years (experience is required due to the size of vehicle you will be driving).
• You won’t be fazed by working outside in all weathers or in confined spaces.
• You may need to access manholes at people’s homes or at business sites, so we will need you to always be polite and respectful.
• Our training programme includes Health, Safety and Environment training, CSCS, Confined Space with Entry Controller (medium risk), NRSWA (Unit 2 : Signing, Lighting and Guarding) and First Aid at Work (3‑day certificate). Please tell us if you already have any of these or other certificates.

What we can offer you:

• Full training package, pension, a company bonus (business performance dependent), 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
• No two days are the same, which means you will always be learning and finding new challenges to get stuck into.
• On occasion, the schedule may lead you to stay away from home, in which case we offer a generous nightly working away allowance.

Company bonus (dependent on company performance)
