About You
The ideal candidate will be hard‑working and respectful and comply with health and safety standards. Experience in the use of high‑pressure jetting equipment is useful but not essential. Other drainage qualifications (e.g., NRSWA and confined spaces) are an advantage. You must have a full UK driver’s licence as our vehicles are all manual.
Full training, PPE and company equipment will be provided to ensure all drainage engineers have the right tools, competency and confidence to undertake the work to Lanes’ high standard of operation.
We are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered. We welcome and encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups. We are a signatory of the Charter for Employer Positive About Mental Health run by Mindful Employer.
