Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Bristol Water Full time

This is a great opportunity to join our metering operations team here at Bristol Water as a Metering Operations Unit Operative.


What will you be doing?


In this role, you'll be assisting with meter stop tap installations for the metering department to include repairs, maintenance, stop tap installations/replacements and meter installations for customer properties where excavation work is needed.


As a Metering Operations Unit Operative, you'll be self-motivated and willing to work in varied conditions over a 45-hour working week, so a can-do attitude is key, especially on those rainy days.

You'll be out and about and operate all over the Bristol Water supply area.

Day to day you'll

  • Assist in the excavation work to locate supply, installation of stop taps, backfill and reinstatement and meter installations.
  • Support the lead Operative when carrying out work at a customer's property, always demonstrating our values to provide the best customer experience possible and a quality finished job.
  • You will work closely with the Unit lead, delivering high standards of workmanship in a timely efficient manner.
  • Assist the Unit lead to ensure all work is carried out to specification and defect free.
  • Be punctual and available for work at the agreed times, including out of hours and weekends when required.

  • Responsible for all plant and equipment ensuring all defective equipment is highlighted to the Supervisor.
  • Make sure vehicle stock is maintained and vehicle and trailer are always kept in an acceptable condition.
  • Act as a champion in the highest level of Health & Safety standards, always working to procedures, quality standards and working instructions.

What we're looking for...
We really need people who are hardworking and can take ownership and have pride in their work. Our Unit Operatives are professional, yet flexible to get the job done.


You'll need a safe and practical approach to work and be confident, self-motivated and capable of operating independently without regular oversight.


Due to business and operational requirements, it's worth noting you will need to reside within the Company's area of supply.


  • Full UK driving licence
Importantly, you will need to demonstrate our core values: TRUST, SUPPORT, ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPECT, PROFESSIONALISM, PRIDE and AMBITION

What's in it for you?
As well as a challenging, friendly environment, and a great opportunity to make your mark, the role also offers:

  • 5% bonus opportunity
  • 23 days holiday, plus bank holidays (you can also buy/ sell up to 5 days)
  • Pension: We put in 8% if you put in 4%
  • Flexible, supportive friendly working environment
  • Access to flexible benefits and discounts via our portal
  • Free onsite parking when you're in the office
Since 1846, we've been making people healthier and the economy stronger. We've served generations of families and will serve generations to come.

We're here to have a positive impact on people and the planet for generations. We don't just give people water - we keep them healthy and help them grow. We work around the clock, testing our water hundreds of times every day.


We take this same view with our 600 employees, we don't just give them jobs in water, we keep them healthy and help them grow.


The best of both worlds
We're one of the smallest water companies in the UK. Being small means we're nimble and can achieve things quickly for our customers and our people.

But while we're small, we're also part of a larger family. In June 2021 we became part of the Pennon group, which also owns South West Water and Bournemouth Water.


This means that as part of our team, you'll get the best of both worlds - the dynamism and fast pace of a smaller company, along with the security and breadth of opportunity that comes with being part of a large organisation.
