Summary
Trainee Drainage Technician
Locations: Taunton, Somerset
Salary: £26,000 to £45,000 per annum (including a travel package) + enhanced overtime rates
Contract: Full time, 40 hours per week, plus staying away Monday to Friday
This is an opportunity to retrain into a skilled drainage role with full training provided, clear progression routes, and serious earning potential from day one. You’ll receive full training in high-pressure jetting, CCTV drainage surveys, confined space work, and specialist equipment operation. You’ll be working outdoors, hands-on, solving real problems and maintaining essential infrastructure across the UK.
You’ll start on £12.50 per hour with enhanced overtime rates but, here’s where it gets exciting. This role requires staying away Monday to Friday, and the company is putting together a package worth approximately £1,600 per month on top of your basic pay for working away. Combined with overtime, this creates a strong, consistent monthly income for someone who is motivated and open to travel.
This is not a job for someone who wants to be home every night. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys being on the road, wants to learn a trade properly, and is ready to commit to developing a long-term career in drainage and utilities.
We’re looking for people who are used to practical, physical work, think groundworkers, labourers, civils operatives, construction workers, utilities staff, who want to step into something more skilled and structured.
About You
Be genuinely open to staying away Monday to Friday
Be keen to learn and develop a long-term career
Hold a full UK driving licence (ideally clean, maximum 6 points)
Be physically fit and comfortable working outdoors in all conditions
Background in groundworks, labouring, construction, civils, utilities, or similar
Comfortable working outdoors in all weathers
Reliable, punctual, and a strong team player
Positive “can-do” attitude with a willingness to learn
Right to work in the UK
If you’re ambitious, reliable, and want to significantly boost your earnings while gaining real qualifications and experience, this could be the opportunity that changes your career trajectory.
