## Description

We're looking for an experienced Leak Detection Engineer with a strong plumbing background to join our team. This is a hands-on role supporting residential and commercial clients following water leaks, flooding, and fire damage — and we need someone who can hit the ground running.

You'll already be confident carrying out non-invasive leak detection and trace & access works, producing technical reports, and dealing directly with insurers and loss adjusters. Alongside leak detection, you'll support our flood and fire restoration team to deliver a full end-to-end service to our clients.

What you'll be doing

-   Leak detection & trace & access: locating and diagnosing leaks using thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, tracer gas, moisture mapping, and other industry-standard methods.
-   Plumbing works: carrying out installations, repairs, and maintenance across pipework, fixtures, and drainage systems.
-   Emergency response: attending callouts for leaks, burst pipes, and flooding.
-   Restoration support: assisting with water mitigation, structural drying, dehumidification, mould remediation, fire damage cleaning, strip-outs, and reinstatement prep.
-   Technical reporting: producing clear, professional reports with photos, notes, and moisture readings via a company-issued tablet or phone — to a standard suitable for insurers and loss adjusters.
-   Client liaison: communicating professionally with homeowners, tenants, landlords, insurers, and loss adjusters.

## Requirements

Essential

-   Proven leak detection / trace & access experience — you can walk onto any job and know how to approach it
-   Confident and competent producing technical reports to insurance-industry standard
-   Hands-on experience with leak detection equipment (thermal imaging, acoustic, tracer gas, moisture meters, and similar)
-   Strong written and verbal communication skills
-   Self-motivated and reliable — able to manage your own day and workload
-   Full, clean UK driving licence

-   20 days' annual leave plus 8 bank holidays
