With admins approval as this isn’t deer related.

I have work available in the water treatment industry.
We pay:
£16.60/hr weekdays/nights
£19.10/hr weekend days/nights
35pp mile travel allowance
£15 per day away from home (over 50miles) food allowance.
We pay hotel accommodation and only use reputable hotels.
Work is on a self employed basis and after an initial 2 day training at £10/hr you’d then go onto the full rate.

Almost all the work is in southern England so it would involve being away from home a lot if you’re not in the area obviously.

The work involves running a centrifuge in a waste water treatment works (yes it smells!). The ability to stay awake is usually the most demanding part of the job and keeping the site clean washing down after spills etc

I try to run the rota on a week on week off basis but there is some flexibility if we have enough people to do say 3/4 on 3/4 off etc.

Weekend work is allocated to those also working weekday shifts

Each shift is usually 12hrs

Payment is weekly on the Monday following submitting of your invoice for that weeks work on the Sunday.

When I was tanker driving we used to take caustic soda to the power plant at Beckton WTW it was down the end past all the settlement tanks, to get there we had to go over a bridge that spanned the two main inflow channels and was rated for 38 ton, we were going over full freighted at 44 ton so if the bridge failed you were definitely in the sh*t 😂
Inside the plant was a lot of brown dust on everything as they dried the solids ground them up and burned them to produce steam to drive the turbines, always funny when we sent a new guy there and it dawned on them what the brown dust was 😂😂

Done a few shutdowns in there. That brown dust is so fine it's like talc, gets everywhere. Probably not very good for you.

The SPG (incinerator) doesn't smell half as bad as the THP side where they make the gas.
