STRICTLY NO AGENCIES PLEASE

Due to continued growth and development, we are looking for customer-focused people to join our Utility Division, working on our Thames Water contract service to deliver real and effective solutions to waste‑water network and drainage problems.

• Travel to residential sites in a van, traveling around the region, to power a high‑pressure water jet for restoration
• Clean, clear and maintain drainage systems
• Record each job report accurately on the specialist equipment provided
• Run diagnostics and repairs on drains
• Deliver good customer service
• Maintain good health and safety practice while carrying out works
• Ensure vehicle stock is full and replenished
• Comply with health and safety responsibilities, e.g. PPE, safe site set‑up protecting Lanes Group employees, the public, and other road users
• Utilise VISTEC and Salesforce platforms
• Work unsupervised in all weather conditions, wearing correct PPE and utilising the lone worker system
• Dynamically risk assess site access and working conditions depending on specific circumstances on arrival
• Liaise with the client regarding process and any updates
• Provide support to your colleagues
• Conduct thorough inspections of tools, equipment and plant before and after use
• Report any defects or malfunctions
• Carry out risk assessments and take a mature approach to risk perception
• Be aware of all Lanes Group policies and your responsibilities towards them
• Complete any other reasonable ad‑hoc tasks, duties or projects as requested by management

The ideal candidate will be hardworking, respectful and compliant with health and safety standards. Experience using high-pressure jetting equipment is useful but not essential. Other drainage qualifications (e.g., NRSWA and confined spaces) are an advantage. You must have a full UK driver’s licence as our vehicles are all manual.

We operate 24/7 and require flexible hours, weekends, and on-call rota participation. Full training, PPE, and company equipment will be provided. We are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and are committed to equal opportunities for all employees.
