Industrial Cleaner

Job Description: Industrial & Hygiene Technician

Position: Industrial & Hygiene Technician
Reports to: Contract Manager / Shift Leader

Working Hours and Contract

The role will be offered on a full-time contract of 37.5 hours per week, with the opportunity to work additional overtime where required.

For the Industrial Division, shifts will be scheduled across four or five days between Monday and Sunday, with two days off per week. Days off and shift patterns will be planned in coordination with your Shift Leader or Contract Manager, taking into account both operational requirements and your availability. The Industrial Team works across the country, and shift start times may vary depending on the location of the site. Some shifts may therefore require an early morning start. Team members will travel from Worcester to the work location and return to Worcester after completion of the work, with all travel hours being paid. For each assignment, the designated team will assemble at the office and travel together to and from the site using the company van allocated for that job.

Working patterns and total hours may vary according to operational and client requirements. Occasional weekend and bank holiday work may also be required. Employees will normally receive two rest days each week, although additional shifts may be available for those who wish to work extra hours.

Following successful completion of the probationary period, candidates may be offered a full-time or part-time contract, subject to satisfactory performance, attendance, conduct, business requirements and the value they bring to the role.

Essential and Desirable Requirements

· A valid UK driving licence is essential for this position.
