The Role

As a Leakage Detection Technician, you’ll play a vital part in identifying and reducing water loss across the network.

What you’ll need:

  • Proven experience in leakage detection within the water industry.
  • Strong practical skills, with confidence using digital tools and leak detection equipment.
  • Excellent customer service and communication skills — you’re approachable, professional, and solution‑focused.
  • A solid understanding of water distribution networks and leakage control principles.
  • A proactive mindset — you bring your own initiative, take ownership, and look for ways to improve how things are done.
  • A full UK driving licence.

Desirable

  • NRSWA accreditation.
  • Training in Manual Handling or Underground Cable Detection.
  • Prior experience working in a similar utility or field‑based technical role.

What You’ll Get In Return

  • Inclusion & Belonging: Active People Networks – Disability & Neurodiversity, Unity+, Women’s Network, and more.
  • Performance & Recognition: Annual salary review, Reward & Recognition Scheme, and Long Service Awards.
