HGV Drainage Engineer
Location: Manchester
Salary: £37,500 rising to £39,500 after probation and up to £42,000 with ADR qualification.
Hours: 45 hours per week, typically 6am–4pm, Monday to Friday.
Overtime: £225 per day for Saturday and Sunday, plus a £50 bonus for working both days.
Holiday: 25 days plus bank holidays.
The Role
We're looking for an HGV driver who enjoys a mix of driving and hands-on outdoor work to join a specialist drainage services team.
The role involves operating tanker vehicles, high-pressure jetting, drain cleaning and interceptor servicing at petrol forecourts, distribution centres and commercial sites.
You'll spend around 25–50% of your time driving, with the remainder working on-site. Occasional overnight stays may be required, with accommodation and subsistence provided.
What We're Looking For
* Valid UK HGV Category C+E licence and clean driving record.
* Previous tanker experience is desirable but not essential.
* Trade, engineering, drainage or maintenance experience would be advantageous.
* Comfortable working outdoors and behind the wheel.
* Strong health and safety awareness.
* Flexible approach to travel and operational call-outs.
* Willingness to gain or renew ADR and other relevant qualifications.
Candidates with a current, valid ADR qualification may be eligible to start on £42,000. Where ADR needs renewing, salary progression can be up to £42,000 following probation, subject to agreed terms.
What's on Offer?
* Salary progression from £37,500 to up to £42,000.
* £225 per day for Saturday and Sunday overtime.
* An additional £50 bonus for working both weekend days.
* 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
* Funded training and relevant industry qualifications, including ADR.
* A varied role combining professional driving and practical site work.
* Company-funded overnight accommodation and subsistence when required.
* Flexible call-out arrangements around operational requirements.
