Sampler - Part Time - Stevenage

Location

Stevenage, Hertfordshire | United Kingdom

Job description

We have a fantastic opportunity for a part-time Water Sampler within our Stevenage team.

As a Part-Time Water Sampler, you'll be on the front line of water safety, quality and delivery, ensuring that customers receive the very best when they turn on their tap.

Responsibilities 

You’ll spend most of your time out and about visiting water treatment works, reservoirs, and other Affinity Water sites collecting water samples across our operational area of Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and delivering these to the laboratory in Staines.

You’ll perform routine, non-routine and random sampling across our supply area, working independently to complete your daily schedule.

There will be a level of interacting with our customers to gain access to residential properties to take water quality samples, and so you'll be comfortable with entering customer properties and engaging with the public.

There’s plenty of driving involved and so you’ll be a confident driver who’s prepared to travel long distances. You must have a full/clean UK/Manual driving licence . Travelling between sites couldn’t be easier as you’ll be given a company van to get yourself around.

Experience required

• You’ll be excellent at managing your time, meeting deadlines and be comfortable working alone.
• Whilst experience in water or the broader utilities industry is beneficial, this isn’t essential as we'll invest the time to ensure you're up to speed with industry knowledge and best practise.
• When you’re not outdoors collecting samples, you’ll be based at the Labs in Stevenage completing key administration tasks such as data input and recording samples into our internal systems. 
• You’ll be comfortable using core IT programs such as MS Excel.
• As the service you’ll provide is essential to the customer, you’ll be comfortable participating in a weekend and out-of-hours standby rota to ensure someone is always on hand when there's an operational issue. It’s all part of your outstanding service
• The Rota will be provided with plenty of notice for the working candidate, offering flexibility with the Sampling team to swap shifts to accommodate where needed.
• There will be a standby rota for evenings and weekend and an additional payment
• Standby will be a separate payment on top of your base salary.

What's in it for you

• Salary £17,897 
• Company van and mobile phone 
• Working hours - 08:00am - 13:30pm - Monday to Friday 
• Standby on Saturday and Sunday 1:9
• Entry into the company annual bonus scheme
• Annual leave from 24 days rising with length of service
• A generous 'double match pension scheme' that doubles the contributions you make (company contribution capped at 12%)
