Drainage Network Operative
Drainage Network Operatives maintain sewerage systems in domestic and commercial settings and private and public drainage systems, including highways. They use various equipment and vehicles to quickly respond to and investigate drainage issues whilst adhering to operating procedures with health and safety as a priority.
Gateway Requirements
