Job description

As a Production Technician you will complete a mix of planned maintenance (ensuring compliance expectations are met) and reactive work (responding to site shutdowns/water quality issues) with the ability to prioritise tasks being essential.

As the water industry is a 24/7 business, you role will involve some out-of-hours standby and weekend working. Health and safety is at the forefront of everything we do so it's essential that you always work to ensure the safety of yourself and others and comply with company procedures.

• The ability to stay focused and calm is important as the work can involve high pressure situations.
• A good working knowledge of MS Office is desirable and PC literacy is essential.

What you'll receive

• A combined pension contribution of up to 20%.

• 25 days' holiday rising to 28 with length of service.
• The opportunity to sell up to five days of holiday every year.
• The opportunity to buy up to ten days of holiday each year (subject to conditions).
• A healthcare package that allows you to claim back healthcare costs.
• Life assurance of up to eight times your salary.
• The opportunity to lease a new electric car through salary sacrifice (subject to conditions).
• Cashback and discounts from more than 3,000 retailers.
• One paid volunteering day each year.
• Enhanced family leave and pay arrangements.
• Access toan interactive health and wellbeing platform.
• Support from trainedmental health first aiders.
• A £1,000 referral fee if you recommend someone who is successfully recruited by us.
