  * Attend pre-start meetings with developers and contractors before the commencement of water infrastructure installation to ensure alignment with AWIN requirements.

  * Carry out pre-adoption inspections, produce snagging lists and complete final inspections prior to asset adoption.

  * Witness pressure testing, chlorination, sampling and commissioning activities on new water mains, ensuring all required standards are achieved before assets are adopted.

  * Inspect, maintain and record water meter installations, undertake meter readings where required, and ensure meters are correctly installed and operational.

  * Assist with the integration of newly adopted water assets into the company GIS and asset management systems.

You will need…

  * Experience of working within the water industry, with a good understanding of the water network adoption process and the requirements for adoptable water infrastructure.

  * Experience of inspecting newly constructed water assets, including water mains, service connections, valves, hydrants and meters, with the ability to identify defects, non-compliant installations and remedial works required.

  * Good understanding of potable water distribution networks and water infrastructure construction standards.

  * Experience of reading engineering drawings, specifications and as-built records.

  * Knowledge of relevant legislation, industry standards and codes relating to water infrastructure and asset adoption.

  * Ability to produce clear technical inspection reports, snagging lists and recommendations.

  * Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to build effective working relationships with developers, contractors and internal teams.

  * Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and experience of GIS or asset management systems would be advantageous.

  * Ability to work independently, prioritise workload and manage multiple sites across the region.

  * Full UK driving licence.
