Sampling Officer

Aberdeen City, United Kingdom Scottish Water Full time

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

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 Aberdeen and surrounding areas.

What you’ll do
- 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.

What you’ll bring
- You’ll spend a lot of time in one of our branded vans, so you’ll need a full, clean driving licence. (You can take the van home, so you can skip the morning commute - but you’ll need to leave it at the depot over holidays.)
- 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.

Looking out for you
- 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 role has 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 print
- The starting salary for this role is £21,053. Full training will be provided, with salary enhancements after 12 months and 24 months if milestones are successfully reached.
- All new Scottish Water employees are required to complete pre-employment security checks before they can start work. You will need to go through MOD Security Clearance for this particular role.
