As an Operative, you will provide a service to protect the High Pressure Pipeline System within our 7500 km network of gas pipelines.

Working with our Technicians and Engineers, you'll make sure that the inspection requirements of pressure systems are delivered, including physically line walking pipelines (up to 200km/year) across rural and remote terrain. You'll also monitor third-party work, aerial sighting response, site and marker post-maintenance, cathodic protection monitoring, and support the in-line inspection programme.

You'll carry out Safe Control of Operations roles that you're competent and authorised to undertake including Competent Person for low-risk activities and Working Party Member for more complex tasks. You'll also support during planned and emergency situations.

You'll have experience in maintenance, fault diagnosis and rectification work within Engineering and have operated, controlled and undertaken work within Safe Systems of Work and/or under Risk Assessment. We work in hazardous areas, so knowledge of health and safety is key.

In this role you will have the opportunity to be trained and developed to support with the cathodic protection monitoring programme. You'll be covering different sites across the patch, so expect some travel.
