Drainage & Wastewater Engineer - West Sussex
£35,000 – £50,000 + Overtime (1.5x) + Genuine Career Progression
Location: West Sussex – Covering London & the South East
Looking for something more than "just another engineering job"?
If you're an experienced drainage, pump or wastewater engineer who's become fed up with doing the same work every day, we'd like to talk.
One day you could be fault-finding a sewage pump station. The next you'll be servicing a treatment plant, carrying out CCTV investigations, repairing drainage systems or commissioning new equipment. Every day is different.
My client is one of the South East's leading independent environmental service companies.
They provide specialist services including:
- Sewage Treatment Plants
- Pump Stations
- Drainage
- CCTV Surveys
- High Pressure Water Jetting
- Drainage Installations & Repairs
- Liquid Waste Services
Real Variety
No repetitive servicing rounds.
No doing the same thing every day.
You'll work across drainage, pumps, treatment plants, CCTV, diagnostics and installations.
You're Trusted
We employ engineers—not parts changers.
We value people who enjoy fault finding, thinking for themselves and solving problems properly.
We Invest

- Drain jetting
- CCTV surveys and drainage investigations
