IMMEDIATE RECRUITMENT – WATER METER INSTALLATION OPERATIVES
Location: Coventry and surrounding operational areas
Engagement: Self-employed CIS subcontractor
Initial term: 6 months, with possibility of extension
Rate: £180 gross per authorised working day, subject to CIS verification and applicable deductions
Start: Immediate, subject to mandatory training, verification and onboarding
Bluegrid Technology Ltd, trading as Bluegrid Utilities, is recruiting experienced operatives for smart water meter installation work in Coventry and surrounding areas.
This is a hands-on digging and reinstatement role, not a meter-installation-only position. Work includes opening the ground, safely exposing water infrastructure, assisting with or completing authorised meter installations, backfilling, compaction and reinstatement of affected surfaces.
NRSWA REQUIREMENT – IMPORTANT
Candidates who already hold valid NRSWA Five-Day Operative Training are particularly encouraged to apply for immediate recruitment, as completing this course takes longer than the other mandatory training requirements.
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.
All operatives must have the following nine mandatory courses/accreditations completed and verified before operational onboarding:
- Asbestos Awareness – Category A
- Banksman Training
- Manual Handling
- Abrasive Wheels
- Emergency First Aid at Work
- NRSWA Five-Day Operative Training
- EUSR SHEA Water
- EUSR National Water Hygiene
- CAT and Genny – EUSR Category 1 Locate Utility Services
Applicants who already hold NRSWA but have some of the other mandatory courses outstanding may still apply. Suitable candidates can be guided through the outstanding training requirements following interview and conditional selection. Do not book or pay for additional courses before receiving written conditional selection from Bluegrid Utilities.
Experience
CIS opportunities are primarily intended for experienced, genuinely self-employed operatives. Relevant experience may include water utilities, water meter installation, groundwork/digging, highways, reinstatement, civil engineering, underground-service location, backfilling, compaction, asphalt, concrete or paving.
