Leak Detection Engineer

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.

• 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.
