British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is looking for an exceptional plumbing & mechanical maintenance technician to join our amazing team based in Antarctica. BAS delivers and enables world-leading interdisciplinary research in the Polar Regions. We employ experts from many different professions to carry out our Science as well as keep the lights on, feed the research and support teams and keep everyone safe.

You’ll take responsibility for all planned maintenance, reactive repair, support and upkeep of all plumbing systems as well as any mechanical associated services on station.

Within the role, there will be an opportunity to develop. As part of the Estates team, you will receive training specific to your role, but also in areas that benefit the station as a whole, such as: Fire search and rescue; advanced medical training; and deep field Antarctic survival techniques.

You’ll be joining a world-leading interdisciplinary research organisation, that is committed to recruiting talented people like you giving you the support, you need to thrive at BAS.

Your main responsibilities will include:

Operating, maintaining and repairing of various systems
Reporting of problems or work requests to the line manager
Carrying out works as directed by the line manager
Most of our stations are undergoing constant modification and improvement, this can range from something large like the Discovery building at Rothera, to something small like the installation of Solar panels at Bird Island. But the most exciting work is still to be done, as we move towards reducing our Carbon footprint to net zero, the challenges are increasing and we are welcoming people who have knowledge, experience or just a passion for renewable and sustainable energy production.

For the role of plumbing & mechanical maintenance technician, we are looking for somebody who:

Has served a full apprenticeship, BTEC, relevant City & Guilds or NVQ
Has practical post qualification/apprenticeship site experience

Through our extensive logistic capability and know-how, BAS facilitates access for the British and international science community to the UK polar research operation. Numerous national and international collaborations, combined with an excellent infrastructure help sustain a world leading position for the UK in Antarctic affairs. British Antarctic Survey is a component of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), which is part of UK Research and Innovation www.ukri.org

Working at BAS is rewarding. The UK’s polar research effort is critically important for understanding environmental issues that affect everyone. This is an opportunity to do what may seem like an ordinary job in the most extraordinary place on Earth.

You’ll be joining our Antarctic Estates department which provides everything needed to support life in Antarctica and is made up of skilled individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. Together we make a formidable team that can deal with any situation, from servicing large refrigeration systems, to welding fuel pipelines.

What we offer:

All food, accommodation and polar clothing during Antarctic deployment will be provided, meaning that throughout your Antarctic employment you can enjoy a level of ‘cost-free living’.

You’ll be eligible for other benefits including an end of contract bonus upon completion of a successful assignment in Antarctica, annual leave, a defined benefit pension scheme with NEST (National Employment Savings Trust) and access to 24 hours/365 days per year employee assistance programme.
