You will deliver infiltration investigations across the sewer network using our mainline camera system to inspect assets, identify defects and sources of infiltration, and produce clear, high‑quality inspection notes and evidence that enable follow‑on lining and remedial works to be raised and delivered efficiently. At the same time you will manage our plant hire, ensuring the correct equipment is ordered, delivered and collected in a timely manner to minimise excess costs. While the primary focus is infiltration, you will also deliver emergency and planned flow‑management operations such as tankering and over‑pumping when required, and carry out a suite of proactive tasks to prevent issues, improve network resilience and reduce pollution and flooding risk.
Because of the nature of this role you will be expected to travel across a wide area between North and South Home Counties.

* Work alongside service providers to carry out infiltration investigations, ensuring evidence is documented in a logical and accessible format.
* Oversee the installation of flow‑management arrangements, ensuring plans are executed in a safe and timely manner with minimal customer and operational disruption.
* Manage flow‑management schemes, including contractor supervision, control over variations, health and safety, and management of hire equipment.
* Carry out field surveys so playbooks can be developed for new flow‑management activities, ensuring accurate and sufficiently detailed information to allow designs to be implemented with no issues.
* Work alongside suppliers and contractors to ensure all work is completed safely, on time and to Thames Water standards and procedures.
* Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, including customers, to ensure flow‑management works are planned and communicated appropriately.
* Carry out contractor auditing, ensuring that all works undertaken meet Thames Water Health, Safety and Wellbeing standards and business requirements.
