Permanent Thanet 37 hours per week plus standby 1 in 6 Starting Salary £25,371.00 plus standby payment Here at Southern Water, we are looking for enthusiastic and driven people to join our Water Networks team. Your experience in any industry is valuable to us; all we ask is you have a full UK driving licence, a desire to learn, and a positive attitude for supporting our customers when they need us the most. You have the opportunity to earn a great initial starting salary of around £25,371.00, plus you have the potential to increase your earnings with standby payments. We have an excellent company benefits package which includes a Business Van, Fuel Card, Company bonus, and much more, in a role with stability and progression combined. There will not be many roles where you can significantly impact the satisfaction of customers. You are frontline superheroes at Southern Water. So, if you have a great customer service ethic with an enthusiastic approach to how the water industry operates, this could be the role for you. You will be part of our customer-facing operation; the business simply cannot operate without you. Every day is different, you will be working in all conditions carrying out inspections and, in some instances, resolving a range of customer-related incidents to ensure that our customers receive a continuous supply of fresh water. If the issue cannot be fixed by yourself, you will make the decision of where it needs to be directed for resolution, including attendance by one of our service partners. Joining us as a Water Network Inspector could prepare you well for future roles across the business. Water network inspectors have progressed into project management and operational manager roles – you will be one of our technical experts in the wholesale water network arena. You may also gain indirect knowledge in mechanical and electrical specialisms, and this could prove to be a future field of study with the skills you will gain. Southern Water can support this ambition with upskilling apprenticeships and other training. Responsibilities
