We provide market leading environmental data collection and monitoring services. Established over 30 years ago, Flow & Water Quality Monitoring give their clients peace of mind in supporting them to reduce environmental risks and improving the quality of their natural environment. Our customers include large blue-chip consultancies and water companies.

We are part of SOCOTEC UK which is the leading of testing, inspection and compliance services with comprehensive solutions in Infrastructure, Environment, Building & Real Estate and Advisory

The Role

We are seeking to recruit field crew operatives, based from our office in Coventry (working throughout the UK). As a field crew operative, you will work with teams on various wastewater and water projects around the UK & Ireland. The field crew operative will be part of a small team installing and maintaining flow monitors, water quality instrumentation and auto-samplers into sewer pipes and rivers around the UK.

The work you do will contribute to improving our environment; you will be helping water companies to manage their sewer networks, and this will help to prevent flooding, reduce pollution and improve the health of rivers and bathing waters.

Typical Day of a Field Crew Operative

Your typical day will involve visiting various sites where you will support your field crew leader in setting up safely and then carry out the installation, calibration or removal of our equipment which is usually located inside a confined space or a river environment. This will include lifting and carrying equipment from the vehicle to the specified site.

Field Crew Operative Requirements

  • Flexibility towards hours and working away from home (accommodation and meals are paid for by the company). A flexible approach to working at night and some infrequent weekend work, is crucial
  • Ability to work well within a team and with a variety of different people, as our teams swap and change
  • Strong work ethic, positive and can-do attitude and ability to use your own initiative when faced with problems
  • Comfortable working around raw sewage and in confined spaces
  • Clean and valid driving licence
  • Right to work in the UK

What We Can Offer

  • Full training, including confined space entry certification
  • A competitive salary starting at £26,208 basic, with enhanced pay for night working
  • Uplifted salary based on skills progression
  • 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays)
  • Contributory Company pension scheme
  • Employee perks scheme
  • Career development and progression

Full training will be provided, so you don't need previous experience in the sector, however a track record in a similar environment would be an advantage.

Due to the safety critical nature of the work, successful applicants will be subject to drug and alcohol testing prior to start and on a spot check basis during employment.

As well as the above, we will provide you with support and encouragement to learn and develop to truly reach your potential.

Building a safer and more sustainable world is the core mission we set out to achieve at SOCOTEC, it is at the heart of everything that we do. We are committed to acting as a key player in society, investing in innovative solutions to ensure social and environmental concerns are at the forefront of all of our business operations.
