About the Role
This is a varied and hands-on role at the heart of our operations, where you’ll be on the front line protecting and maintaining our water network. Your responsibilities include:
- Responding quickly to incidents such as burst water mains and customer supply issues
- Carrying out essential remedial work on key assets like valves and hydrants
- Providing premium customer service during emergencies and ensuring reassurance for our communities
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
No two days are the same—your role will see you making a real difference by:
- Preventing pollution
- Keeping customers informed and supported
- Minimising supply interruptions
- Safeguarding both our network and the environment
You'll be based in Finham, covering the designated patch and will receive:
- A company vehicle (essential to perform duties)
- All required tools for the role
A full UK driving licence is mandatory. This is a critical role, available for a 40-hour week, across varied shift patterns, including evenings and weekends.
What We’re Looking For
If you enjoy:
- Problem-solving
- Outdoor work
- Making a real difference to customers and the environment
Then this is the role for you. While water industry experience would be beneficial, it’s not essential.
As an employer, we believe in rewarding character, positivity, and a caring attitude over qualifications alone. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities—individuals who care because they get involved and want to be part of something bigger.
