Summary
FJA are partnering with a leading water utilities provider to recruit skilled Leakage Technicians. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of identifying and locating leaks, helping to maintain and improve water network efficiency.
About the Role

• Support repair teams by providing precise leak location data.
• Conduct survey and project work beyond standard leak detection tasks.
• Complete all required documentation accurately, including timesheets, survey forms, and leak reports.
• Perform Step Testing to identify areas of high leakage within the network—typically undertaken at night for accuracy and minimal customer disruption.
Leakage Technician Requirements:
• Full UK driving licence
• EUSR Water Hygiene certification
• Unit 2 Street Works qualification
Benefits:
• Competitive pay rates
• Company van and fuel card
• Opportunities for career progression
• Day and night shifts available (Monday–Friday)
