Identify and accurately locate underground leaks on both trunk mains and distribution networks.
Investigate customer reports, network anomalies and high-consumption areas to identify potential leakage issues.

Support network optimisation initiatives aimed at reducing water loss and improving performance.

Operational Delivery

Plan and organise daily workloads to maximise productivity and meet client performance targets.
Complete all required surveys, inspections and investigations within agreed timescales.

Interpret network drawings, GIS data and utility records to support leakage investigations.
Ensure all leak detection equipment is maintained, calibrated and operated correctly.
Keep up to date with emerging technologies and best practices in leakage detection and water network management.

Health and Safety

Promote and maintain a strong safety-first culture across all activities.
Ensure all works are completed in accordance with company procedures, client requirements and industry standards.
Complete risk assessments and follow safe systems of work.
Identify and report hazards, near misses and safety concerns.
Carry out all duties with consideration for environmental impact and public safety.
Complete a daily van check.

Skills & Experience

Knowledge of water supply configurations, distribution networks and hydraulic principles.
Technical expertise in methods used to account for water network usage and leakage management.
Experience using leak detection equipment, acoustic logging systems, correlators, ground microphones and pipe tracing equipment.
Understanding of DMA operations, pressure management and network performance monitoring.
Ability to analyse data, interpret findings and accurately pinpoint leakage locations.
Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to innovate and adapt in challenging situations.
Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to investigations.
Good communication and relationship-building skills.
Ability to work independently and efficiently across multiple sites.
Strong commitment to health, safety, quality and customer service.
