Description

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

How's this for job satisfaction:
at Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource.

From source to tap, we are guarding Scotland's reputation for refreshingly pure water, and caring for our environment at the same time.

Sound good? We are looking for motivated people to join the Caithness Team within Customer Service Delivery.

What you'll do

You will join a motivated multifunctional team who are committed to making a real difference to the experience our customers have with us.

This is not just a task driven role - you will be empowered to take ownership of problems, investigate them fully, initiate solutions and provide support to our customers.

You will be responsible for carrying out excavation, maintenance and repair on water networks and a variety of other tasks including maintaining water network assets including service reservoirs and pumping stations, dealing with customer facing related issues on a day to day basis.

The focus of the role will be to ensure the resolution of customer issues and the recovery of any reputational impact our operations have on customers.

As a member of our multifunctional response team, you will be required to participate in an out of hours multifunctional standby rota which in addition to the water related tasks listed above will include carrying out maintenance and choke clearing on sewer networks and a variety of other tasks.

What you'll bring

You'll spend a fair amount of time working alone, so you'll need to be self-motivated, but still eager to contribute to your team's goals.

Basic IT skills are a must, as you'll be using digital equipment and apps throughout the day.

You'll need report writing skills too - nothing fancy, but enough to get your point across clearly, quickly, and accurately.

An understanding of health and safety principles for site working or skills in basic ground.

Although full training will be provided it would be desirable if you have some ground maintenance skill and knowledge of water & sewer networks.

Looking out for you

While the work we do is important, we know it's not the only thing that matters. That's why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.

This role includes standby responsibilities. But you'll 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, there's our pension (the 'know-what-you'll-get-when-you-retire' kind), and life assurance.

As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus.

Not to mention access to SW Splash - handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.

The not-so-small print

The salary range for this role is £22, ,425 GBP Annual (depending on skills and experience).

A few final things worth knowing

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. We're very used to making adjustments, so please don't be afraid to ask.

As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it's important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don't already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
