Build your future with FM Conway.
At FM Conway, our Drainage Operatives play a vital role in protecting communities, supporting essential wastewater services and keeping critical infrastructure running safely and efficiently.
We're looking for motivated Drainage Operatives to join our growing Water and Drainage Management team, working on our Wastewater Treatment contract.

You'll work across a variety of environments, including wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations and wastewater networks, supporting the maintenance and operation of critical infrastructure.
No two days are the same. Whether you're supporting high-pressure water jetting, carrying out drainage cleaning, assisting with tankering and over-pumping operations or responding to urgent wastewater incidents, you'll finish each shift knowing your work has made a genuine difference.
