New Year, New Start? Join Our Family-Run Drainage Team

January 6, 2026

Experienced drainage engineers wanted for a varied, hands-on role with a supportive local team. Start your new year with us.

Recruitment ad:

A new year is a good time to think about a change. If you’re an experienced drainage engineer looking for a fresh start, we’d like to hear from you.


We’re a family-run business, local to the area, and proud of the reputation we’ve built over the years.


We work hard to help people and businesses with all sorts of drainage problems, from blocked drains to CCTV surveys, high-pressure jetting, repairs, groundworks, and routine maintenance. 


Our work is varied - one day you might be clearing a blocked kitchen drain in London, the next you could be carrying out a planned maintenance job at a commercial site in Thurrock.


No two days are the same.

What we look for:


  • Experience working in drainage (unblocking, repairs, maintenance, CCTV surveys, jetting, etc.)
  • A clean UK driving licence
  • Someone who takes pride in a job well done
  • Good with people - friendly, reliable, and respectful
  • Able to work both on your own and as part of a team
Blue box listing requirements for a drainage worker: experience, license, pride, people skills, and teamwork.

What you’ll get with us:


  • Part of a close-knit, supportive team where your work is noticed
  • Variety in your day-to-day jobs
  • A business that values honesty, hard work, and doing things properly
  • Opportunities to learn new skills and take on more responsibility


We’re not a big corporation. We do our best to look after each other. If you want to work somewhere you’re valued, where you can take pride in what you do, get in touch.


Start your new year with a new role - one where you’re part of a team that cares.
