M&E WQM Maintenance Technician

What you'll do

You'll be responsible for the installation, maintenance, calibration and fault diagnosis of water quality monitoring equipment across the Wessex Water region.

The role will involve a combination of planned preventative maintenance and reactive work, responding to equipment faults and operational issues as they arise.
