About the Role
Are you looking to build a career rather than just find another job? If you're practical, enjoy hands-on work and want to learn a specialist trade with full training and genuine opportunities to progress, we'd love to hear from you. Join SMS Environmental, one of the UK's leading independent water hygiene specialists, and begin your career in an industry that helps keep buildings and water systems safe and compliant across the UK. As a Trainee Water Treatment Engineer (internally known as a Critical Maintenance Engineer), you'll work alongside experienced engineers, receive industry-leading training and gain valuable hands-on experience across a variety of customer sites. No two days are the same, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys practical work, travelling to different locations and learning new skills.

As part of our Engineering team, you'll carry out planned water hygiene and water treatment activities, including:
- Temperature monitoring
- Water flushing
- Cleaning and disinfecting shower heads
- Inspecting and cleaning water storage tanks and systems
- Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) inspections and maintenance
- Recording completed work using our in-house software on an iPad

Working across a variety of customer sites, you'll build specialist knowledge while delivering a high standard of service and helping our clients maintain safe water systems.

Experience
No previous water treatment or water hygiene experience is required as full training will be provided. Experience in a hands-on or trade-based role such as plumbing, construction, maintenance, engineering, facilities management or similar would be advantageous but is not essential.

About you
We are looking for someone who:
- Enjoys practical, hands-on work
- Has a positive attitude and a willingness to learn
- Takes pride in delivering high-quality work
- Has excellent communication and customer service skills
- Is confident using an iPad or similar technology
- Holds a full UK manual driving licence
- Has the right to work in the UK

Qualifications
No formal qualifications are required for this role. A willingness to learn and develop technical skills is essential. You will be supported through a City & Guilds affiliated training programme to support your professional development.
