About Us

Intelligent Drainage Solutions Ltd is a specialist drainage company dedicated to providing premium residential, commercial, and industrial services. From unblocking drains and high-pressure jetting to septic tank emptying and advanced CCTV surveys, we pride ourselves on safety, reliability, and responsive customer service. Using modern equipment and state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, we ensure our clients' infrastructure operates at peak efficiency.

The Role

We are seeking a skilled and responsible CCTV Rig Manager to supervise a 2–3 person team in the field. In this role, you will lead day-to-day operations on site, utilizing state-of-the-art CCTV equipment to analyze pipe conditions and generate premium-quality technical reports. This is a highly responsible position combining team leadership, technical asset inspection, and strict adherence to health and safety protocols.

Key Responsibilities

• Site Supervision: Lead a 2/3 person field crew, allocate daily tasks, monitor performance, and ensure a highly productive, safe working environment.
• Surveys & Reporting: Execute high-quality CCTV surveys, vehicle-mounted WinCan coding, and STC25 manhole surveys. Produce accurate site sketches and perform strict final QA checks on all data.
• Compliance & Safety: Ensure all tasks are strictly undertaken in accordance with up-to-date Method Statements and Risk Assessments (RAMS). Maintain vigilant awareness of public and traffic movements when working on live highways.
• Fleet & Inventory Management: Conduct mandatory daily pre-start vehicle and inventory checks. Ensure all safety, survey, and auxiliary equipment is present, clean, well-maintained, and has a current calibration date.
• Asset Safekeeping: Take responsibility for company property, including specialist vehicles, high-value cameras, keys, and mobile devices.

Working Hours & Operational Flexibility

Our baseline operations are structured around a basic 45-hour working week, Monday to Friday. However, to seamlessly meet our strict commercial contract requirements and manage seasonal works fluctuations, a high level of operational flexibility is required.

Shift Variation: You must be willing and able to work night shifts and weekends when project demands require it.

Travel: Occasional periods of working away from home will be necessary to support regional contract delivery.

Emergency Response: An active emergency call-out rota is in operation. Joining and participating in this rota is a core condition of employment to ensure uninterrupted service to our clients.

What We Are Looking For

• Drainage Experience: Proven background operating CCTV drainage survey rigs, high-pressure water jetting equipment, or managing utility/drainage infrastructure projects.
• Technical Skills: Experience with WinCan coding software, STC25 manhole survey formatting, and producing legible, accurate field sketches.
• Leadership Capability: Strong supervisory skills with a natural ability to guide field crews and handle client updates professionally.
• Safety First Mindset: Deep awareness of health, safety, and environmental regulations on site, particularly regarding highway and street works.
• Practical Requirements: A full, valid UK driving licence suitable for operating company vehicles. A strong commitment to outdoor, physical work in varying weather conditions.

Note: While vocational training in utility engineering, construction, or underground asset mapping is highly advantageous, core drainage survey and crew supervision experience is our primary focus.
