Confined Space Operative: Water / flood defence installation

  • Confined Space-trained site operative with experience working around water, wastewater, pumping stations, drainage assets, culverts, chambers, penstocks, valves or similar infrastructure.
  • Must be comfortable with physically demanding site work, RAMS, loading/unloading, hand tools, site conditions and working under a supervisor.
  • Ideally holds CSCS and additional H&S tickets such as PASMA, IPAF, Emergency First Aid, Abrasive Wheels, MEWP, slinging or PUWER awareness.
  • Needs to be flexible for travel and working away Monday to Friday, likely from ACE’s Retford/Rampton HQ to UK-wide and potentially Ireland-based sites.
  • Strong fit if they have worked in water utilities, flood defence, land drainage, pumping stations, MEICA installation or civil engineering environments.

ACE’s own installation page says their site engineers are trained in Confined Spaces Working and that they work in water, at height and in confined spaces, which makes this a direct fit rather than an inferred one.

Salary to be discussed depending on experience.
