We are currently seeking skilled and motivated Class 2 HGV Drivers/Jetting Operatives based out of our Plympton Depot to join our dynamic team working across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. You’ll be working on a variety of small and large-diameter sewer cleaning projects, including culverts and outfalls.

The ideal candidate will possess an up-to-date CPC driver card, and while experience in high-pressure water jetting would be advantageous, we provide comprehensive training to ensure your success in the role. 

Holding qualifications such as PTS (City & Guilds) Confined Space Entry, NRSWA (Street works), and a valid CSCS card would also be highly beneficial.

This means that occasional participation in a call-out rota and willingness to work overtime will be essential, rewarded with enhanced overtime rates. Embracing a hands-on approach, this role demands both enthusiasm and flexibility, along with the ability to take initiative and work independently.
