Joining our friendly and skilled Operations & Maintenance team, we are seeking an experienced Jetting Operator to support our region with keeping our networks flowing freely. In this new role, you’ll quickly become an established member of the team and take the lead on busting through blocks in our network by using specialised jetting equipment. This is a critical role for Ancala Water Services to ensure we continue with our compliance to regulatory requirements and our commitments to high customer service standards across over 1,000 Ministry of Defence sites (check out the Areas we operate - Ancala Water Services).
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Delivering our reactive and proactive operations and maintenance plans across our wastewater network
- Inspecting wastewater systems using various technological tools such as CCTV to identify cause and location of blockages
- Safely using high-pressure water jetting equipment to release blockages in drains, sewers and pipelines
- Performing low-level fixes and installing ‘cured-in-place pipe’ (CIPP) repairs
- Communicating effectively with customers to explain the importance and need of the work being carried out in a non-technical way
- Using mobile IT devices to document your findings such as blockage cause, remedial works undertaken and any further action required
What You’ll Bring:
- Experience of wastewater networks, drainage and high-pressure jetting equipment
- Plumbing and/or drainage maintenance experience is highly advantageous
- Good level of IT literacy with mobile devices, software packages, accurate data entry and Microsoft Office
- A good level of general fitness to allow you to work in confined spaces and in physically demanding environments in all weather conditions
- Excellent and adaptable communication skills for working with your immediate team, the wider business and with our customers
Our ideal candidate will have experience in a similar role and if you have been trained in high-pressure water jetting, NRSWA and trailer towing, we would love to hear from you. However, if your certifications have lapsed, we’d still be thrilled to receive your application. You’ll be comfortable working in a field-based role and you’ll enjoy finding fixes to problems that arise as part of your day-to-day role. You’ll be able to think creatively, be solutions-focused and provide excellent customer care, all while contributing positively to the success of your regional team.
