We are looking for someone to join our award winning pond specialists in our large work teams. We carry out a range of pond construction and refurbishment services, including building all types of ponds and water features, designing and constructing top end Koi ponds and filtration systems, as well as total refurbishment of existing pond and water features. This is an ideal opportunity to take your interest in ponds and fish to the next level, turning it into a career in our fascinating business.
You will require (or be): -
* An interest in fishkeeping/pond keeping.
* Have a transferable set of skills from the aquatics trade or another industry (i.e. landscaping)
* A practical thinking mindset with an ability to solve issues and challenges.
* A team player with a ‘can do’ attitude.
* A willingness to learn.
* Fit and healthy! (the job can be physical!)
* A friendly and happy personality to interact with our great clients.
* Attention to detail with everything you do, with a focus on quality and neatness at all times.
* Full driving license, and an ability to get to our rural offices in Bletchingley, Surrey (RH1 4QP) each morning (please note we are not ideally situated for relying on public transport).
If you have existing knowledge of ornamental fish/pond keeping/Koi keeping, this is always considered a bonus!
In return we offer: -
* A great salary package.
* Supplemented Sick Pay Scheme
* Private medical insurance.
* Discounts on fishkeeping/pond keeping items to help you with your fishkeeping hobby.
* 28 Days holiday per year, rising one day per year to a maximum of 33 days per year on year 5.
We have a fleet of quality, sign written vans for business use, and provide all the tools needed for this role, including uniform, clothing and the other little necessities (credit and fuel card, mobile phone etc) our teams need to ensure we all have everything needed to carry out our work. Our aim at all times is to offer a friendly, efficient service and ensure our clients and their ponds are happy! You will also be working with one of our team leaders, constantly learning about ponds and how they work.
If this sounds like the role for you, then please do get in touch. We only expand our team with pro-active, positive thinking people who love fish and ponds, and although no prior trade experience is necessary, this will of course be considered an advantage, whether in retail or servicing.
You absolutely must have an interest in fish and pond keeping (which we will check!), a full UK driving license and a willingness to continuously learn and develop. We also look for team members who have a friendly, people focussed personality, a positive 'can do/will do' approach as well as a logical, problem solving mindset for all the little challenges that pond keeping throws up! Good communication skills are essential with both clients and our team, as well as the ability to competently use a smart phone (we operate using phone based software). Our offices are based in Bletchingley, Surrey, but the role will obviously be mobile, travelling between our clients.
If this sounds like the job for you, apply today - we look forward to hearing from you
