About the job
Civil Safety was established in 2002 by Managing Director Ben Edgley. Starting with just one employee, Civil Safety steadily grew from servicing confined space safety equipment locally to the sale, hiring and servicing of equipment nationwide. In 2015, we developed further and added Drainage Industrial Cleaning to our service portfolio. We provide industrial cleaning drainage services all over the UK from both our Ramsey and Essex locations. Due to continued growth, the company divided in October 2018 into two businesses: Civil Safety Drainage LTD and Civil Safety Training and Rescue. We pride ourselves on family values; we are a very close-knit unit of 50+ employees all working together to build a successful brand.

The Job
As a Drainage HGV Operative, you will work as part of a team in executing a variety of tasks on the water, drainage and sewer infrastructure. Starting from our depot in Ramsey, these tasks include wet/dry well cleans, tank cleans, clearing blockages and obstructions, high pressure water jetting, operating Jet Vac suction hose, and confined space entries.

A very keen emphasis is put on adhering to strict health and safety policies and practices. This can be a dirty job; we work in and around sewage/the sewage infrastructure on a daily basis, and we understand that isn’t for everyone. A flexible, can-do approach goes a long way in this role.
