We would love to hear from you if...
You have previous experience within water utilities, highways, or civil engineering environments, ideally with exposure to repair and maintenance activities on live networks.

You will hold essential qualifications including Street Works (NRSWA) accreditation, a full UK driving licence with towing capability, Cat & Genny training, First Aid certification, Abrasive Wheels training, and Water Hygiene accreditation.
