Supervisor (Technical Lead) – Water Hygiene / Legionella
Northamptonshire patch + regional travel
£40,000 - £45,000 + benefits
Already operating at a senior level but not getting the recognition or influence you deserve? This is a great opportunity to step into a Supervisor role where you’ll be seen as the technical lead -not just another name on the rota.
You’ll be joining a well-established, privately owned compliance business with a strong reputation in the water hygiene and Legionella sector. They’re known for valuing technical expertise, giving their senior staff a voice and creating clear pathways into leadership.
The Role
A hands-on Supervisor position where you’ll act as the technical lead across a team of engineers and assessors. You’ll still stay close to the work, but with far more input into quality, standards and how things are delivered.
This role is ideal for someone already in a senior position within a similar business who wants more autonomy, recognition and progression.
Responsibilities include:
* Acting as the technical lead for water hygiene and Legionella compliance works
* Supporting and overseeing engineers across day-to-day operations
* Carrying out complex technical duties including risk assessments, audits and problem-solving
* Reviewing reports and ensuring high standards of accuracy and compliance
* Mentoring and developing junior team members
* Providing technical support to both internal teams and clients
* Supporting management with service delivery and continuous improvement
What They’re Looking For
* Currently working in a senior role within a water hygiene / Legionella business
* Strong background in Legionella risk assessing and/or water hygiene
* Excellent technical knowledge across compliance and water systems
* Experience supporting or informally leading teams
* Keen to step into a role with more influence and responsibility
* Full UK driving licence
What’s On Offer
* £40,000 - £45,000 salary
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays
* Company vehicle + fuel card
* Pension scheme
* Ongoing training and development
* Clear progression into Technical Manager / Operations roles
* Opportunity to be recognised as the go-to technical lead
* Stable, supportive environment where your input genuinely matters
