Waterside Specialist (Reservoir Surveillance Inspector - Harthill & Pebley Reservoir)

We are looking for volunteers to join our existing team, to help us out with completing regular reservoir inspections. There will be a shadowing and training period, where you will be paired with volunteers or colleagues that are already carrying out the inspections, before being able to complete these by yourself. Harthill requires inspecting 3 times a week on a Monday, Wednesday, fridays, Pebley requires 2 days. We are looking for volunteers that are available on one of these days per week and can spare around 4 hours for the inspection on a regular basis
