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. All this in conjunction with our Jetting Units when required; therefore you will be responsible for all site activity, ensuring the team works safely and efficiently and that work is completed within the required timescale. This is a full‑time permanent role based in and around Leicester.

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.

However, we are open to considering candidates who don’t necessarily have the experience but are keen to learn and develop a career in drainage or utilities.
