Drainage Engineer Jobs in the North East
CCTV drain surveys, high-pressure jetting, unblock and repair work across Tyne & Wear, County Durham, Teesside, and Northumberland. Employed roles (van + kit) and qualified subcontractors when we need extra capacity.
Drainage engineer vacancies — where we need people
We recruit drainage engineers for work in and around Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Middlesbrough, Stockton, and surrounding towns. If you already cover part of the North East, tell us your patch when you apply — we try to keep runs sensible.
Employed drainage engineer vs subcontract
Employed — van, kit & PAYE
Best if you want a regular wage, company van, and stocked kit. We book the work; you deliver professional CCTV, jetting, and repair visits.
- Experience with drains, jetting, or CCTV preferred
- Full UK driving licence
- Customer-facing, tidy workmanship
Subcontract drainage — own van & kit
Already self-employed with a jetter and/or CCTV setup? We route overflow jobs when demand peaks. Day rates depend on job type and kit — agreed before you take the work.
Subcontract plumber work (heating & plumbing) uses the same pipeline idea; drainage specialists should still apply here.
Pay, tools & how to apply
- Pay: employed packages discussed at interview; subcontract rates agreed per job type (market-dependent).
- Requirements: relevant drainage experience; UK driving licence; subcontractors need public liability insurance and appropriate kit.
- Van / tools: provided for employed roles; subcontractors use their own unless agreed otherwise.
- Apply: use the form below, call 0191 622 6923, or email [email protected] with “Drainage NE” in the subject line.
