Summary
RPS are seeking Logging Technicians for our United Utilities contract to deploying logging devices which will record acoustic information from the water network pipework enabling leaks to be detected.
This is an excellent opportunity for an individual to gain entry to the water industry and to develop their skills and experience with one of the UK’s leading Environmental Consultancies.

· A good standard of basic Maths and English
· Basic IT skills
· Willing to work nights, weekends and overtime as required
· Have good hearing
· Happy working alone or as part of a team
· Full UK driving Licence

We encourage and value different ideas, perspectives, and styles of thinking. We need a mix of experiences and skills to develop the most innovative ideas. We respect one another and recognise the potential and contribution of everyone. You’ll be joining a diverse community and a company that puts its people first and prioritises their wellbeing.
