Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced and motivated professional with strong practical knowledge of Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT & Genny), specifically the Radiodetection Cat4 and RD800. The successful candidate will be trained and developed to deliver Safe Location and Safe Digging training courses to operatives working around underground utilities.

Key Duties

Deliver (and be trained to deliver) structured Safe Location and Safe Digging training courses using Cat4 and RD800 equipment. Deliver training from our centres in Abercynon, Preston, or London, as well as anywhere in the UK where clients request, so flexibility and willingness to travel is essential.

Support the design and continuous improvement of training materials and assessments. Provide clear demonstrations and supervise hands-on practice sessions. Maintain training equipment to ensure accuracy, safety, and readiness. Stay up to date with best practices, legislation, and safe digging standards.

Confidence in explaining technical concepts to groups of varying ability. Ability to adapt and self-manage in a training environment. Previous training or supervisory experience is advantageous but not essential -- full trainer development will be provided. A valid driving licence and willingness to travel across the UK.
