One of the most important objectives for us all at SES Water is the reduction of leaks and maintenance of our networks. Were currently in a good position with a full reservoir and water stores, but we cant afford to rely on continuous heavy rainfall for our supply. We need to ensure we dont waste a drop.
All of us at SES Water, regardless of whether we are office or field based, share a service mindset. In practice, this means we provide our customers (who are very often our colleagues too) with great support and customer care.
As a part of this incredible support network, the Trainee Utilities Fitter reports into the Section Manager of our Supply department and will join the team repairing, maintaining and replacing the pipes, portable mains and all everything in between. Sounds easy? Its hard manual work. Our network infrastructure comes in all shapes and sizes and often needs attention outside of office hours in driving wind, pouring rain, sleet or snow.
Dont worry, we provide protective (and warm) clothing and youll be well recompensed for standby and rotad weekends.
As part of your role and training youll be:
Helping to maintain our high standards for customers, Health and Safety requirements, and environmental considerations.
Showing respect and consideration to those affected by works
Excavating, and repairing all sizes of pipe and ancillary apparatus within the water mains network
Loading and unloading materials, backfilling and reinstatement excavations.
Helping with daily vehicle and plant maintenance checks
Keeping the Redhill yard compliant with site-based risk assessments
Recording all details of work carried out on site.
This is a trainee role - we dont have a long list of requirements, but we do need you to be :
physically fit
willing to learn

polite and responsive to customers
If you have a full driving licence and/or any experience in construction that would be great, but not essential.
