This is a hands-on, field-based role responsible for carrying out specialist drainage repairs, with a primary focus on patch lining, full-length pipe lining (CIPP), and minor drain repairs.

Recording and reporting of all completed works, including video and photographic evidence

Supporting reactive and planned drainage maintenance when lining is not required

Maintenance and management of van stock, lining equipment, and safety gear

Ensuring all work is completed in line with health and safety protocols
