If so, we have a role which will see you join a friendly, supportive team, where you'll help to look after our water recycling sites, maintaining the highest standards for customers.

This is a Monday to Friday role, but standby cover will be required for evenings and weekends on a rota basis, which equates to an availability payment of around £1,950 per year, plus a performance bonus of up to 5% of your salary and overtime available. A company van and all the tools and training you will need to complete your role will be provided.

This opportunity will suit you if you've just completed an apprenticeship or if you are a more established Electrical Maintenance Technician, looking for a new challenge, covering our water recycling sites across the Wiltshire area.

Whether you have previous experience working in a 24/7 operational production environment; a commercial, industrial or domestic background; or experience testing, inspecting and fault finding, then we want to hear from you

What you'll do

As an Electrical Maintenance Technician, you will join the EM&I team, carrying out planned preventative maintenance and reactive work on our water recycling sites.

Day to day your responsibilities will be to ensure the effective operation of plant machinery and equipment, as well as carrying out fault finding, fault diagnosis and fault resolution.

Your experience and expertise in decision-making will be second to none, as you will confidently seek to make continuous improvements on our water recycling sites to reduce the risk of them not performing to their full potential.

What you'll need

In this position, you will be required to have a can-do attitude and a flexible approach to work activities as you will be involved in a variety of tasks.
