Drainage Operative

FM Conway is looking for a skilled Drainage Operative to join our dedicated Water and Drainage Management team to support essential infrastructure across the highway network. The role is full‑time and permanent, based in Sittingbourne, Kent.

• Assist HGV Drainage Engineers with tasks, including high‑pressure water jetting (HPWJ) to inspect, clean and maintain drainage networks.
• Carry out drainage cleaning and investigation activities to identify and resolve issues.
• Support the safe and effective use of high‑pressure water jetting equipment.
• Respond promptly to reactive and emergency callouts to resolve urgent drainage problems.
• Operate the GIS Trimble unit accurately and efficiently, following all company procedures and safety guidelines.

Candidates must hold a full UK driving licence. Experience in a similar role with high‑pressure water jetting is an advantage but not essential, as we can provide full training. A CSCS Card and a Confined Space ticket would be beneficial.

• Career and professional development, including our HGV apprenticeship programme.
• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Company pension and life assurance.
• Opportunities for internal and external training.
• Wide range of shopping discounts through our Rewarding Great People platform.
• 24‑hour health and well‑being advice lines and support from in‑house mental health first aiders.
