Looking for a career you can build from the ground up? Whether you're ready for a change of pace or looking to step away from the ordinary 9 - 5, this is your chance to launch a hands-on, outdoor career - no previous experience required as full training will be given!

We're looking for dependable, practical individuals to join as a Trainee Field Service Technician in a role that offers variety, structure, and long-term opportunity. This is not a desk job - you'll be outdoors, problem-solving, working as part of a close-knit crew, and learning new skills every day.

You'll be part of a two person crew installing, calibrating, and maintaining water monitoring equipment across Devon and Cornwall's wastewater network. Your responsibilities will include:

• Attending sites (homes, businesses, public areas) and working in confined spaces across Devon and Cornwall, with a very occasional need to travel further across the UK (all expenses paid with a generous night out allowance included)
• Diagnosing issues and taking action
• Safely uplifting and offloading products, tools, and equipment
• Driving and maintaining company vehicles, reporting any defects
• Cleaning, securing, and caring for all tools and vehicles
• Ensuring all work is carried out efficiently, safely, and to client satisfaction
• Liaising professionally with customers on-site and with internal supervisors
• Identifying opportunities for improvement and additional services

You'll receive full training and support—if you're motivated and willing to learn, we'll teach you everything you need to know.

Desired profile

We're looking for someone who:

• Enjoys practical, physical work and being outdoors in all weathers
• Is reliable, hands-on, and eager to learn a new trade
• Can work respectfully around customers at residential and business sites
• Holds a full UK driving licence (held for at least 2 years with no more than 6 points for insurance purposes)
• Feels comfortable working in small teams and confined spaces

Full training provided

We'll equip you with everything you need to succeed, including:

• Confined Space Training
• NRSWA - Signing, Lighting & Guarding
• CSCS Card
• First Aid at Work
• Ongoing support to build your confidence and skills

What’s in it for you

• A long-term, secure career path with growth opportunities
• Generous travel and overnight allowances when required
• The chance to learn highly transferable skills in a growing industry
• Be part of a team that supports you every step of the way

This is more than just a job - it's a fresh start.
