Full training on Legionella compliance will be provided through the company's academy.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with water system cleaning and disinfection.
• Identify potential compliance issues and report findings clearly to clients and the office.
• Complete service reports and digital records accurately following each visit.
• Liaise professionally with customers and site contacts.
• Carry out minor plumbing‑related tasks where required, including identifying and removing dead legs from water systems.
• Maintain tools, equipment and PPE to the required standard.
• Travel between client sites across the region.

About You

You will ideally have:

• Basic plumbing knowledge.
• Some experience working with hot and cold‑water systems.
• A practical background in maintenance, facilities, plumbing, water hygiene or building services.
• Good attention to detail and accurate record keeping.
• Good communication and customer service skills.
• A willingness to learn and develop specialist knowledge in Legionella and water hygiene.
• A full UK driving licence.
• The flexibility to travel between sites across the region.

Previous Legionella experience is beneficial but not essential, as full training will be provided.

Training & Development

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a career in water hygiene and Legionella compliance.

You will receive structured training through the company's Legionella Academy, developing your knowledge of water systems, Legionella control, monitoring and compliance.

What We Offer

• Monday - Friday working pattern.
• Company vehicle and fuel provision.
• Full Legionella and water hygiene training.
• Ongoing training and development.
• The opportunity to develop a long‑term career within a growing business.
• A varied field‑based role working across commercial client sites.
