Example Recruitment Group is delighted to be working with a highly respected and growing specialist within the water hygiene and Legionella compliance industry, who is looking to recruit an experienced Legionella Risk Assessor due to continued expansion.
100% Legionella Risk Assessments – No Water Hygiene Duties
This is a genuine Legionella Risk Assessor position.
You will NOT be expected to carry out routine water hygiene or manual remedial work as part of this role.
There will be:
* No temperature monitoring
* No water sampling
* No shower head cleaning or descaling
* No tank cleaning or disinfection
* No TMV servicing
* No flushing regimes
* No remedial plumbing
* No routine water hygiene engineering duties
Your role will be focused specifically on Legionella Risk Assessments, technical evaluation of water systems, schematics, report writing and providing professional recommendations to clients.
This makes the opportunity particularly well suited to an experienced Risk Assessor who enjoys the technical, investigative and academic side of water hygiene and wants to concentrate on risk assessment rather than being expected to undertake engineering and monitoring duties alongside it.
The Opportunity
The company delivers a UKAS-accredited Legionella Risk Assessment service to an impressive portfolio of clients across sectors including:
* Healthcare and hospitals
* Local authorities
* Education
* Housing associations
* Leisure and hospitality
* Charities and large estates
You'll work on everything from relatively straightforward water systems through to large, technically complex healthcare and commercial environments.
Although the company operates nationally, they aim to keep Risk Assessors working regionally wherever possible.
Another major benefit is the working structure. Risk Assessors will generally spend a week carrying out assessments on site followed by a week dedicated to completing reports and technical write-ups, either from home or the office depending on your location.
This provides proper time to concentrate on producing detailed, accurate assessments rather than trying to complete reports around a full diary of site visits.
Excellent Package
The overall package includes:
£34,000 basic salary
10% performance bonus
Company vehicle
All business fuel paid
Medical care
Lunch and snacks paid for every day whilst working on site
25 days annual leave, increasing with length of service
Annual salary reviews based on performance
Workplace pension
Flexible working
Dedicated individual training and CPD programme
Approximately 1–2 days per month dedicated to training and professional development
Paid Water Management Society membership
Perkbox employee reward scheme
Cycle to Work Scheme
50% contribution towards phone and internet costs
Out-of-pocket expenses covered in accordance with company policy
The Role
As a Legionella Risk Assessor, you'll deliver comprehensive UKAS-accredited Legionella Risk Assessments across a diverse portfolio of client sites.
Your responsibilities will include:
Carrying out detailed Legionella Risk Assessments in accordance with current legislation, guidance and company procedures.
Assessing hot and cold water systems and identifying potential Legionella risks and areas of non-compliance.
Working on complex water systems, including hospitals, healthcare facilities and large commercial estates.
Evaluating water system design, operation and management arrangements.
Producing detailed technical Risk Assessment reports.
Providing clear recommendations and identifying appropriate remedial actions.
Completing detailed water system schematics to accompany Risk Assessments.
Carrying out on-site annotation and drawings before producing finished schematics using CAD.
Producing everything from straightforward storage arrangements through to detailed water distribution drawings.
Undertaking additional technical assessments, including scalding and burning assessments and full engineering assessments where required by the client's…
