Description

PureAquatics is a specialist aquatics business based in Clevedon. They design, install, and maintain aquariums for a wide range of clients across the UK, from residential homes to large organisations like the NHS. Their work involves everything from small tropical fish tanks to large custom-built aquariums.

As an Aquatics Technician Apprentice, you'll play a hands-on role in the day-to-day care of aquatic animals and assist the experienced team with installations and maintenance services. You'll gain valuable experience in animal husbandry, learn how to work with aquatic and reptile species, and develop technical skills involved in setting up and maintaining aquariums. You'll work alongside lead technicians, and over time, you'll build the skills and confidence to attend site visits independently. This role is ideal for someone who loves animals, enjoys practical work, and is looking for a career that offers variety, travel, and progression.


Key responsibilities include:

- Assisting with the setup and installation of aquariums.

- Supporting the maintenance of tanks (cleaning, water testing, and equipment checks).

- Caring for aquatic animals, reptiles and amphibians (feeding, cleaning, health monitoring).

- Keep accurate records of animal care and maintenance work.

- Attending site visits with the team to work on client locations across the UK.

- Helping to improve, clean, and transport equipment and livestock safely.

A full driving licence, or working towards this, would be hugely beneficial, but not essential.
