If deskbound is a dirty word for you and you’re practical and enjoy teamwork, here's a no-day-is-the-same job that could see you dealing with an oil spillage and de-greasing a food factory one week, to decontaminating a laboratory the next. As Industrial Services Operative, you will be part of a small and skilled team that provides specialised environmental and industrial cleaning, decontamination and decommissioning services to customers nationwide, but mainly in the southeast. 

What you’ll be doing as Industrial Services Operative 
Using a variety of tools, you will undertake confined-space entry, high-pressure water jetting, working at height, and handling and/or removal of hazardous materials. The work is physically demanding and conditions can be uncomfortable e.g. sometimes wearing a protective suit, respirator or full face mask.

What you’ll need
Previous transferable skills in a similar role and happy to work outdoors in all weathers if the job demands it. A full UK driving licence is a must too.

Ideally, you have these qualifications/certifications/ training: current Confined Space access and PASMA Mobile Access Towers for Users certification; IPAF certification; IOSH Working Safely Award or NEBOSH Level 2; CSCS Card; High Pressure Jetting.
