You will play a crucial role in the management of Shropshire Groundwater Scheme (SGS) – a Category A Strategically Important Asset which helps to provide drinking water to six million people as part of River Severn Regulation. Supporting the SGS Asset Manager, your duties will include helping to manage maintenance and improvement works. You will proactively undertake routine asset management duties to ensure that the scheme is ready to respond when needed. At times this will require making independent decisions once sufficient experience has been gained. As part of the role you'll help identify defects, prioritise works and assist in planning for maintenance and public safety works. The work will include preparation of contract documentation, CDM, liaison with contractors, supervision of contractors, undertaking statutory inspections and assisting with water quality sampling. The scheme is operated during times of drought during which you will assist the SGS Project Manager in making operational decisions and covering the SGS PM during absences. The role also includes asset management of other smaller groundwater monitoring assets within West Midlands. Following sufficient training by the SGS Project manger this work will include independently cataloguing assets, identification of defects / performance issues and the planning of small projects work to ensure that they are at the required condition to perform their role. You will assist the SGS Project Manager in delivering the works you have planned through various contract routes. SGS work will account for approximately 80 percent of your core work time with 20 percent to be spent on smaller ground water monitoring assets.
