Meet the team: Rob McCrimmon

Position: Water hygiene engineer

Time at GMS: Four and a half years (in total)

Rob says:

“I first worked for GMS Services fifteen years ago, for four years. I came back last September.

“I’m a Water Hygiene Engineer and I spend my days carrying out PPM tasks including temperature checks, servicing Thermostatic Mixing Valves and doing Clean & Disinfections.

A great place to work

“I’d highly recommend GMS as a place to work. They’re a good company and always try to get the best out of you.  They’ve expanded a lot since I was here fifteen years ago, coming back has been great – it feels like I’ve never been away!

“Workloads are realistic and work schedules are well designed and organised. I get evening and weekends off so I’m able to spend time pursuing my other interests. I’m a Scout leader. I also enjoy fishing, cycling and valeting cars. When I’ve got time to relax, I like to spend it at my caravan.”
