Asset Maintenance Operator Bath, England
Job description
We are looking for four Asset Maintenance Operators to join our Distribution Asset team. If you can bring a can-do attitude, with an enthusiastic and flexible approach, this role offers ongoing support and training.
If you have general labouring experience and are used to doing a variety of tasks, such as painting, grounds maintenance or carpentry, then we want to hear from you.
The role
You will be joining a dedicated Asset Maintenance team, working on distribution sites within the north region (Chippenham, Bath, Trowbridge and surrounding areas). We’re looking for semi-skilled, self-motivated people to maintain our supply assets, ranging from painting, carpentry, grounds maintenance, concreting and sample tap cleaning.
You will work to respond to health and safety needs and general asset repairs at the same time, ensuring health and safety is at the forefront of all your own and your team’s activities.
Duties in this role include:
- general building maintenance, such as painting, carpentry, gutter repairs and roof repairs
- landscaping, such as grass cutting, cutting trees, fencing, and maintain pathways and railings
- sample tap cleaning/hatch cleaning (training will be provided)
- ensuring the general cleanliness of our water treatment centres
- ensuring your mobile plant equipment is sufficiently serviced and maintained
- confined spaces working (training will be provided).
As part of a team, you’ll use your skills to make local decisions and suggestions for improvement, as well as assisting the team in meeting the planned and ad hoc asset maintenance programme.
What do I need?
To be considered, you will have experience working within a construction or general labouring environment and possess practical skills, such as painting, general labouring, landscaping, maintaining buildings and grounds maintenance.
You will be working at numerous sites, often in remote areas, so it is essential you hold a full UK driving licence. It may be necessary to operate plant equipment such as telehandlers, excavators and forklifts. However, training to operate this equipment will be provided as required.
You’ll be health, safety and welfare aware with effective communication and interpersonal skills. You must be self-motivated with personal drive and have the ability to work effectively with minimum supervision. You’ll also have the ability to converse with managers and stakeholders.
Benefits for you
- Pension - up to 20% combined contribution
- 25 days’ holiday rising to 28 with length of service
- Opportunity to buy and sell up to 5 days’ holiday
- Life assurance (four times your salary)
- Flexible working
- Cashback and discounts from over 1200 retailers
- Volunteering days
- Enhanced maternity leave
- Health and wellbeing programme
- Mental health first aiders
