Trainee Asset Information Technician

What you'll do

As a [Employer hidden] Trainee Asset Information Technician, you will undertake the creation and maintenance of wastewater and water supply network assets in a corporate GIS database, currently using ESRI ArcGIS/ArcPro. You will edit records in the system, which means spending significant periods of time focusing on the screen whilst maintaining attention to detail and a high level of accuracy. Whilst performing an edit update, you will need to digitise and enter tabular information, and undertake topological and visual checks for completeness. Records sources will include as-laid drawings, asset surveys, and field-based sketches on maps.

Daily tasks will include editing our live GIS networks using data ranging from field data to Engineering drawings, accessing site data from Microsoft Dynamics and viewing it via Qlikview reports.

You will liaise with other staff to ensure the data captured is of the required accuracy and quality. On occasion, you may also provide hard copy maps and reports to the business.

This is an office-based role in our Bath Operations Centre or our Trowbridge Office at Kennet Way. During your 6-month probation, you will be expected to be office-based full-time, with a mixture of face-to-face training at one of our offices or online via Teams. However, once you are working independently, flexible working options are available up to a maximum of 2 days per week at home.

What you'll need

We are looking for a highly organised person who has excellent attention to detail and accuracy. You will be self-motivated, using your own initiative, and working under moderate supervision. You will also need to work confidently with other team members and colleagues throughout the company. 

Experience in the following would be beneficial, but full training will be provided for:
