Job description

About The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Installation Supervisor to take charge of pump and pipework installations at client sites. As the senior member of a two-person team, you'll not only lead but also work side‑by‑side with our Installation Operative to ensure every project is delivered safely and to the highest quality.

Whilst on site you will need to ensure RAMS are briefed and adhered to by your team and check that the quality of equipment is fit for purpose before an installation begins. Health & Safety is our first priority for this position and needs to be adhered to at all times. You will be working on construction sites with potential risks in and around your work area. Not only will you need to manage your own safety but also be aware of the safety of others around you. You need to have the holistic view and confidence to stop any unsafe acts during any activity if it is not safe to carry on.

Flexibility for this role is a must as you will be involved in a call‑out rota and be expected to commit to supporting your team by working overtime outside of your normal 40‑hour working week. This will give you the opportunity to earn fantastic increased overtime rates.

Main Responsibilities

• Promote and exercise the company’s mission statement and core values to deliver the required uniformed approach for our business strategy across the UK network.
• You will be required to supervise all aspects of the solution / sales project from conception to completion in conjunction with the solutions / sales team.
• You will be liaising with the Installation Manager, delivering up to date information on the installation progress and any potential problems and foreseeable issues.
• You will be carrying out on-site RAMS processes, ensuring all on‑site risks have been identified and stringent control measures have been put into place, with the methodology of the installation communicated to all site staff and customers at every stage.
• Whilst on site you will be installing pipework alongside and supervising the day‑to‑day workload of the Installation Operatives and sub‑contractors on site.
• You will assist our drivers with loading and unloading of our vehicles. As this is a physically demanding role a good level of fitness is required to be able to carry out your day‑to‑day tasks and deliver our internal and customers’ expectations regarding on‑site safety.

Qualifications & Experience

Essential

• Must be confident working at height, in confined spaces, and around sewage / wastewater
• Must have the aptitude to work on client sites, including construction, wastewater, and clean water.
• Willing to be hands on to ensure jobs are completed on time to the best quality.
• You will need to be flexible with working hours and be available to be part of our ‘on call’ 1 in 4 rota, and on occasions work away from home.
• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Site Supervision.
• SSSTS - Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme.
• Full UK driving license (with no more than 6 points)

Preferred

• IOSH Managing Safety.
• Forklift licence.
• CSCS card holder.
• National Water Hygiene Card.

This role is subject to a safety critical medical.
