Careers FAQs

Questions About Working With Us

The practical things applicants usually ask.

Still Have Questions About Your Drains?

Our engineers are happy to talk you through the problem, the likely fix and the price before you book — no obligation.

Our needs change through the year, so we are always happy to hear from good people. Send us your CV with the role you are interested in and we will contact you if there's a suitable opening, now or in the future.

Not for a trainee role — reliability, a good attitude and a willingness to learn matter most. For engineer, surveyor and groundwork roles, relevant experience helps, and we will talk through what you have done.

Most of our work is spread across the East Midlands, so a full UK driving licence is usually needed for engineer and surveyor roles. Tell us about your situation when you apply.

We only use it to consider you for roles with us. If you are unsuccessful, we delete it six months after the role is filled unless you ask us to keep it for future vacancies. See our privacy policy for details.
