Are you experienced with septic tanks, sewage treatment plants or other off-mains drainage systems and looking for a field-based role with planned work, sociable hours and no call-outs?
Vector Recruitment Solutions are recruiting on behalf of a growing off-mains drainage specialist for an Off-Mains Drainage Surveyor covering mainly Kent, Sussex and Essex.
You'll carry out pre-purchase and condition surveys at residential properties, inspecting off-mains drainage systems to establish their condition, operation and compliance.

- Identifying defects including damaged pipes, displaced joints, root ingress, blockages and poor falls
- Checking foul and surface water arrangements, including rainwater cross-connections
- Inspecting drainage fields, soakaways and discharge arrangements
- Recording system layouts, defects, photographs and CCTV footage
- Identifying potential compliance issues and required remedial works
About You
- Strong practical knowledge of off-mains drainage systems, including septic tanks, cesspits and sewage treatment plants
- Your experience could come from installing, servicing, maintaining or surveying off-mains systems, as survey-specific training can be provided
- Ideally, experience of dye testing and carrying out CCTV drainage inspections using push-rod or similar camera equipment
- Comfortable working independently and dealing professionally with homeowners and customers
- Full UK driving licence
Why Apply?
If you're used to the reactive nature of the drainage industry, this role offers something different:
- £45,000 salary
- Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm
- No on-call rota
- No weekend work
- No overtime requirement
- Fully planned workload
