Fire Hydrant Inspection Officer

3 months ago


Stockport, Stockport, United Kingdom GMCA Full time

Position: Fire Hydrant Technician

Salary: £25,878 - £29,439

Hours: 36.25 per week

Contract: Permanent

Location: Within Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service Boundary

Your Role:

We are looking for dedicated individuals to join our team as Fire Hydrant Technicians. This crucial position involves the assessment, testing, upkeep, and repair of fire hydrants throughout Greater Manchester, contributing to our goal of fostering safer and healthier communities.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct inspections, testing, and maintenance of fire hydrants following a predetermined schedule in assigned areas.
  • Accurately document inspection findings using both manual and digital systems (training will be provided).
  • Work autonomously, effectively managing your workload while also collaborating with fire service teams to address high-risk zones.
  • Engage in physically demanding tasks, including ground work, lifting equipment, and handling silt bags (up to 22 kg), often multiple times daily.
  • Operate a company vehicle to reach hydrants in various environments such as roads, pavements, parking lots, and open spaces.

Work Environment:

  • Outdoor work throughout the year, in all weather conditions, with significant periods of lone working. The role consists of approximately 70% physical tasks and 30% administrative duties, which can be performed on-site or at a fire station office.
  • Inspect around 20 hydrants daily, which may require entering and exiting your vehicle up to 200 times weekly.

Training and Development:

  • Comprehensive training includes:
  • Driving GMFRS vehicles
  • Health and safety training
  • New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA) certification

About You:

We are seeking enthusiastic candidates for the Fire Hydrant Technician role. The ideal applicant will possess a strong capacity to learn and comprehend the technical aspects of fire hydrants and water systems. A full UK Driving Licence (manual & automatic) is essential, as you will be operating a GMFRS vehicle. Proficiency in digital tools, including Microsoft Office (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel) and mapping applications (Google Maps), is required. Strong communication skills and literacy are vital.

You must be adept at planning workloads while considering traffic conditions and seasonal changes, remaining flexible to address urgent issues. Self-motivation is essential, as you will need to work outside standard hours to complete inspections effectively. A good level of fitness and overall health is necessary due to the physical demands of the role.

Desirable skills include a working knowledge of hydrant testing and operations, familiarity with the Greater Manchester road network, and experience with water service providers. Candidates will receive support and mentorship throughout their development, ensuring you are well-equipped to thrive in this position.

About Us:

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) encompasses several key strategic functions and service providers, including the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), Waste and Resources, Environment, Work and Skills, Research, Public Sector Reform, Police, Crime and Criminal Justice, Homelessness, the Greater Manchester Ageing Hub, and the Commissioning Hub.

We value the diversity of our workforce and strive to recruit a team that reflects the varied communities across Greater Manchester. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified individuals, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We have established guidelines to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and consistently throughout the recruitment process, including considerations for reasonable adjustments for individuals with disabilities.

Our Offer:

In return for your dedication, we provide our employees with a competitive benefits package, details of which can be found in our offer documentation.
