Are you an ambitious Water Hygiene professional looking for the opportunity to build and ultimately lead a new division? Golden Fox Recruitment is working exclusively with a long-established specialist water business with over 30 years’ experience and operations worldwide, as they look to establish a dedicated Water Hygiene division within their UK business. They already have an established UK customer base across healthcare, education, MOD, MOJ and the private sector, creating significant opportunities to introduce Water Hygiene services through existing relationships.
The Role
This is not a traditional Water Hygiene management position where you will simply inherit an existing team and portfolio. Initially, the role will be hands-on. You will be responsible for:
- Surveying and scoping new Water Hygiene opportunities, supporting pricing and contract mobilisation
- Initially delivering Water Hygiene monitoring and compliance works where required
- Helping establish procedures, reporting, documentation and efficient operational systems
- Advising on remedial requirements and coordinating subcontract resource where required
- Ensuring services are delivered in line with ACOP L8, HSG274 and relevant Legionella compliance requirements
- Supporting recruitment and ultimately building and leading a permanent Water Hygiene team
As workload increases, the intention is to build additional resource around you, allowing you to gradually step away from day-to-day delivery and ultimately take responsibility for the UK Water Hygiene division nationally.
About You
They aren’t necessarily looking for somebody who is already heading up a large Water Hygiene division. More important is finding somebody with the knowledge, ambition and attitude to step up, take ownership and build something. Ideally, you will have:
- Strong Water Hygiene / Legionella compliance experience, including ACOP L8 and HSG274
- Experience surveying and scoping works, with an understanding of pricing, mobilisation and contract delivery
- Strong client-facing skills and commercial awareness
- Confidence using technology, systems and reporting platforms, with an interest in improving processes and efficiency
- A proactive and ambitious approach, with the confidence to bring your own ideas to the table
- A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel nationally
Legionella Risk Assessment experience would be highly beneficial, while HTM 04-01 / healthcare experience would also be advantageous. You may currently be working as a Water Hygiene Contracts Manager, Technical Manager, Supervisor, Senior Water Hygiene Engineer, Legionella Risk Assessor or Water Hygiene Consultant and feel ready to take the next step.
What’s on Offer?
- Up to £60,000 basic salary DOE + bonus
- Monthly car allowance + fuel card
- Predominantly home-based working
- 25 days’ annual leave + bank holidays
- Private healthcare following probation
- Salary sacrifice benefits
- Established customer base and existing Water Hygiene opportunities
- Genuine autonomy to help shape a brand-new division
- Opportunity to establish systems and processes from the outset
- Long-term opportunity to recruit and build a team
- Genuine progression towards leading the UK Water Hygiene operation
This is a rare opportunity to join an established specialist business and build rather than inherit. They are looking for somebody who is technically credible but equally hungry, adaptable, comfortable with technology and excited by the opportunity to bring new ideas into the business. If you’ve reached the point where you want more ownership, more autonomy and the opportunity to put your own stamp on something, this could be an excellent next step.
