Working as part of a busy team, you will be trained to use a variety of techniques and equipment to find leaks on our network. Once fully trained you will liaise with other network staff about maintaining and improving the network system, as well as reviewing flow alarms and calibrating and maintaining leakage equipment.

You will be responsible for carrying out reactive and proactive leak detection, as well as monitoring the leakage system and collecting data. It will also be part of your role to participate in out-of-hours standby, meaning you will provide support to the business out of the usual working hours.
