This is a reactive and proactive field-based role; you’ll support with planned maintenance and be the first on the scene to identify unexpected leaks. Developing your leak detection skills every day, you’ll be trained to use specialist electronic means and data to locate hidden leaks on our water network. When you join the team, you’ll be provided with plenty of hands-on training and job shadowing and work towards becoming NRSWA accredited & LTO trained (licence to operate).
