We Do What We Say - that’s why we need people like you to help us deliver on our promises. People who enjoy getting things done!

We have an opportunity for a Clean Water Network Operative to join our team supporting water network operations across Devon and Cornwall. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys practical, hands‑on work and is comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.

You will be paired with an experienced Team Leader who will support you in developing your skills and knowledge within the clean water sector, helping you build a strong understanding of water network maintenance and repair.

This is a physically active role where you will play an important part in keeping essential water services running safely and efficiently for our customers.
