Network Maintenance Operative

2 months ago


Fort William, United Kingdom Scottish Water Full time

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.
- At Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource. From source to tap, we are committed to guarding Scotland’s reputation for refreshingly pure water and caring for our environment at the same time.
- As part of our ongoing commitment, we are looking for a Multifunctional Networks Maintenance Operative to join our Field Response team, working in Fort William and the surrounding area on a full-time permanent contract.
- What you’ll do
- Your number-one priority is resolving customer issues. You’ll take control of any situation, investigate problems, and come up with solutions that make customers happy - always making sure they’re kept up to date.
- You’ll also carry out routine repairs and maintenance on water and wastewater network infrastructure, as well as plant, equipment, and vehicle checks. All while putting health and safety first (Chapter 8 NSRWA will be your guide) and keeping any service disruption to a minimum.
- Accurate reports are essential, so you’ll be across reporting systems for measuring performance and productivity. And as you’ll be working as part of a team, you’ll do your turn on the standby rota for out-of-hours work.
- What you’ll bring
- You’ll spend a fair amount of time working alone, so you’ll need to be self-motivated, but still eager to contribute to your team’s goals. Basic IT skills are a must, as you’ll be using digital equipment and apps throughout the day. You’ll need report writing skills too - nothing fancy, but enough to get your point across clearly, quickly, and accurately.
- A full, clean driving licence is required, as you’ll need to travel around sites in the Fort William area.
- A few ‘nice to haves’:

- It would be ideal if you have experience with HGVs and 180/360 excavators and experience using cable avoidance tools would be good. As would an understanding of health and safety principles for site working or skills in basic ground maintenance.
- Holding a CPCS or NRSWA qualification would be great, but it’s not a must-have.
- 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
- This role will be a Grade 4, with a salary range from £27,590 to £32,410. New external hires will normally be expected to join on the minimum salary.
- There is a requirement to participate on an out of hours standby rota.
- Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Don’t worry - we’ll ask your permission before starting these checks.

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. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We’re very used to making adjustments, so please don’t be afraid to ask.

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.
