Electrical safety/testing may form part of the initial response. The response will then incorporate all aspects of recovery, including but not limited to assessing the extent of any water ingress and resulting damage, reporting on that damage, drying and restoration within the properties as well as providing the facility for any building works that are required as a result of the incident including any external damage assessment. The ability to provide incident management as well as reporting both onsite and offsite to NWG is required. Excellent customer service skills also need to be demonstrated both on and off site as customer satisfaction is a key part of this work.
