How's this for job satisfaction:
at Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource.
From source to tap, we're guarding Scotland's reputation for refreshingly pure water, and caring for our environment at the same time.
Sound good? We're looking for a Sampling Officer to join our Water Sampling team, who keep a close eye on the water quality in Fort William and surrounding areas.
When there's a water sample to be taken, you're there - you'll plan, collect, process and deliver them across your patch.
That means visiting everywhere from water treatment works and service reservoirs to customer's houses and Top Up Taps - every day is different.
Many of our sampling procedures are accredited by UKAS, so you'll need a keen eye for detail. On your watch, the team will be confident you've sorted the pH from the pOH and recorded accurate measurements. And yes, you'll often be working alone - but your contribution to the team's targets will be huge.
Every day you'll be out and about collecting samples, representing Scottish Water - your friendly, professional manner is part of the uniform.
You'll spend a lot of time in one of our branded vans, so you'll need a full, clean driving licence.
Love a to-do list and always keep your calendar organised? Us too.
Most days you'll work to a schedule, but you'll flex for the occasional logístical challenge or reactive job, such as urgent resampling.
You should be goals-focused too, always with one eye on helping the team meet daily and weekly targets.
Sometimes a sample needs to be taken after dark or at the weekend - you'll be part of a standby rota to cover these jobs.
While the work we do is important, we know it's not the only thing that matters. That's why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.
This is a part time role (22.5 hours per week). The hours will be worked across three days with some weekend working and standby requirements. But you'll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take time off to volunteer in your community.
When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.
For your future, there's our pension (the 'know-what-you'll-get-when-you-retire' kind), and life assurance.
As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus.
Not to mention access to SW Splash - handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
The not-so-small printThis role will be a Grade 2. If you're new to Scottish Water, you'll join us on a starting salary of £24,430. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £27,210.
All new Scottish Water employees are required to complete pre-employment security checks before they can start work.
A few final things worth knowing
Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best.
As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it's important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don't already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
