This is a hands-on, field-based role covering a variety of environmental hygiene and compliance services. The role would suit someone who enjoys practical work, working as part of a team and travelling to different client sites.

The role involves both daytime and night-time work, depending on client requirements, so flexibility around working hours is essential.

You don’t need previous experience in all areas of the role. Full on-the-job training will be provided, including specialist industry training.

Your work will primarily involve:

• General ventilation cleaning and hygiene.
• Water tank cleaning, coating and refurbishment.
• Kitchen extract and grease system cleaning.
• Kitchen extract fire safety cleaning.
• Ensuring all work is completed to the required standard and specification.
• Working safely and in accordance with company procedures and health and safety requirements.
• Using specialist equipment and PPE correctly.
