Pool Technician

A Pool Technician conducts routine maintenance on swimming pools and spa systems. You might work for public swimming facilities or at private homes. Pool Technicians may check chemical levels and water quality and perform servicing on heating, filtration and cleaning systems. You might make necessary adjustments or organise repairs when necessary.

Pool Technicians require good technical skills and must be able to adapt their abilities to suit a range of circumstances. It’s important you are a good problem solver and have strong attention to detail. Pool Technicians should have excellent customer service skills and may have to work as part of a team. You’ll need to be organised and manage your time well.
