About the Role
We are looking for a Water Hygiene Technician to join a growing commercial cleaning and compliance business, covering client sites across Slough, Watford, Reading, Oxford and Guildford.
This is a hands-on, field-based role involving water hygiene, water monitoring and preventative maintenance across commercial client sites.

Full training on Legionella compliance will be provided through the company's academy.
Key Responsibilities
- Carry out routine water hygiene and water monitoring at commercial client sites.
- Undertake temperature monitoring of hot and cold-water systems.
- Carry out water system inspections, including cold-water storage tanks and associated equipment.
- Assist with tank cleaning and clearing.
- Carry out Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) inspections and servicing.
- Undertake shower cleaning and descaling.
- Carry out water sampling for microbiological analysis.
- Assist with water system cleaning and disinfection.
- Identify potential compliance issues and report findings clearly to clients and the office.
- Complete service reports and digital records accurately following each visit.
- Liaise professionally with customers and site contacts.
- Carry out minor plumbing-related tasks where required, including identifying and removing dead legs from water systems.
- Maintain tools, equipment and PPE to the required standard.
- Travel between client sites across the region.
