As a technician, you play a key part in the success of phs. To our customers, you are the face of the company. Your excellent customer service skills help keep our customers happy – and ensure they remain our customers!

As a Service Technician in our Healthcare division, your time will be split: half will be spent driving prearranged routes to our customers' locations (we use a system to optimize routes based on service times), and the other half collecting waste and servicing products at customer premises. Currently, this includes supporting the nation’s Covid testing stations, but regardless of your route, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining hygienic and fresh facilities.

A day in the life of a Service Technician at phs involves:

• Driving to customers on your allocated route.
• Emptying Euro Bins containing offensive waste.
• Collecting pharmaceutical waste, hazardous waste, and sharps containers.
• Supporting Covid testing stations by collecting sealed waste.
• Replacing and emptying other products within healthcare facilities.
• Completing hazardous consignment and transfer notes.
• Returning daily to your depot to empty collected waste from your vehicle.

The ideal candidate for this role will:

• Have patience to travel between customers during busy times, understanding traffic is unavoidable.
• Be flexible to work between 6 am and 6 pm, 40 hours per week.
• Hold a full UK manual driving licence for at least 12 months (subject to insurance), with no more than 6 points.
• Not have DR/DD/CD/TT/IN/AC endorsements in the past 5 years.
• Preferably hold current ADR Class 6, 6.1 & 6.2 qualifications.

In return, you will receive:

• A salary of £25,590 plus bonus (OTE £26,590), based on a 40-hour week, Monday to Friday.
• 13 paydays per year (every 4 weeks).
• Overtime opportunities.
• A dedicated company vehicle to start from your home.
• Discounts through our phs Perks scheme.
• Pension scheme.
• 31 days of annual leave (including Christmas Day), with 30 days available for booking. Bank holidays are working days, except Christmas Day.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and aim to increase female representation in this location.
