Job Description

We are looking for self-motivated and customer-focussed individuals to join our team of dedicated Network Operatives in the Affinity Water East supply area.

The role

As a Network Operative, you\'ll work as part of a two person team to complete essential maintenance and repairs to the water network, ensuring we can deliver clean, wholesome drinking water to the communities we serve. You\'ll carry out all works safely and efficiently, ensuring all legal, regulatory and Health & Safety obligations are met. You\'ll also keep customers fully informed of any works that affect them.

As the service you\'ll provide is essential to the customer, you\'ll be comfortable participating in a standby rota to ensure someone\'s always on call if there\'s an issue. It\'s all part of your outstanding service.

What you\'ll need

For experienced candidates, previous experience in laying mains and service pipes is required and you\'ll have completed your NRSWA Operative training. You\'ll also hold a NVQ Level 2 or equivalent qualification in Laying Mains and Services, alongside a current Street Works qualification.

For less experienced candidates, water industry experience is beneficial but not essential as in-house training programmes are available. If your background is in site-based construction or labour based roles, you\'ll have great transferable skills and can learn \'on the job\' via our experienced Network teams. You\'ll be self-motivated, team-focussed and always striving to go the extra mile for your customers.

You will need a full UK driving licence to travel.

What\'s in it for you?

The work you\'ll do is essential for Affinity Water to deliver safe, clean drinking water to millions of customers every day.

In return, you\'ll be entitled to a competitive salary, double-matching SMART pension plan, on-the-job training and opportunities to undertake further education, and a holiday allowance increases with length of service. So the longer you stay, the more you gain. You\'ll also receive a company vehicle, work phone and uniform.

Please note that for trainee Network Operatives, starting salary will be based on experience.
