Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland. Howâs this for job satisfaction: at Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource. From source to tap, weâre guarding Scotlandâs reputation for refreshingly pure water, and caring for our environment at the same time. Sound good? Weâre looking for a Multifunctional Networks Maintenance Operative to join our Field Response team, working in Skye and the surrounding area on a full time permanent contract. What youâll do Your number-one priority is resolving customer issues. Youâll take control of any situation, investigate problems and come up with solutions that make customers happy â always making sure theyâre kept up to date. Youâll also carry out routine repairs and maintenance on water and wastewater network infrastructure, as well as plant, equipment and vehicle checks. All while putting health and safety first (Chapter 8 NSRWA will be your guide), and keeping any service disruption to a minimum. Accurate reports are essential, so youâll be across reporting systems for measuring performance and productivity. And as youâll be working as part of a team, youâll do your turn on the standby rota for out-of-hours work. What youâll bring Youâll spend a fair amount of time working alone, so youâll need to be self-motivated, but still eager to contribute to your teamâs goals. Basic IT skills are a must, as youâll be using digital equipment and apps throughout the day. Youâll need report writing skills too â nothing fancy, but enough to get your point across clearly, quickly and accurately. A few ânice to havesâ: it would be ideal if you have experience with HGVs or 180/360 excavators. And experience using cable avoidance tools would be good. As would an understanding of health and safety principles for site working or skills in basic ground maintenance. Holding a CPCS or NSRWA qualification would be great, but itâs not a must-have. Looking out for you While the work we do is important, we know itâs not the only thing that matters. Thatâs why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance. This role has some weekend working and standby requirements. But youâll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take time off to volunteer in your community. When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working. For your future, thereâs our pension (the âknow-what-youâll-get-when-you-retireâ kind), and life assurance. As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash â handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping. The not-so-small print  This role will be a Grade 4. If youâre new to Scottish Water, youâll join us on a starting salary of £27,590. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £ 32,420. If youâre interested in this role â or know someone else who might be - weâll be accepting applications until the 10th of February 2025 at midnight. Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Donât worry - weâll ask your permission before starting these checks. A few final things worth knowing⦠ Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If youâre interested in this job, but donât tick all the boxes, apply anyway We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So donât rule yourself out  Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. Weâre very used to making adjustments, so please donât be afraid to ask.  As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, itâs important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you donât already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.  Finally (finally), candidates who havenât submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You wonât need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted. Weâre here to help. Ask us anything at SWRecruitmentScottishWater.co.uk Â
