About the role…

Working from one of our custom‑equipped \’Patching\’ vans, you will visit all types of clients — commercial, residential, industrial, rail, road, utility — across the UK. You will carry out work on drainage systems, assess pipe conditions, analyse results, and produce high quality reports.

This is a full time permanent role.

About You…

This role is ideal for a self‑motivated individual with a full UK driving licence and experience in utilities or drainage. You should have strong problem‑solving skills, great attention to detail, and be comfortable working as part of a team. The role involves flexible shifts, including some weekend and night work.

Experience with patching rigs, lining kits, and cutting equipment is preferred, along with certifications such as NRSWA Streetworks, Water Hygiene, and Banksperson training. High‑pressure jetting and confined space entry certifications are also desirable.
