Emergency Drainage Technician

About the job

As an emergency drainage technician, you find and fix blockages, leaks, and other faults in drainage systems. You start the day at the office, go over the plan with your colleagues, then head out in a service van. You work on your own most of the time, but you stay in contact with customers and handle problems in both indoor and outdoor drainage systems professionally.

What you'll do

• Inspect drainage networks
• Clear blockages using mechanical tools or high-pressure jetting vehicles
• Find and repair leaks and other faults in drainage systems
• Help customers during call-outs
• Work with the team to keep the drainage system running well
• Follow health and safety rules
• Take part in training and earn certificates, including VCA Basisveiligheid (a Dutch safety certificate required for working on construction and infrastructure sites)
• Take part in on-call emergency shifts (bereikbaarheidsdiensten: scheduled standby duties outside normal working hours)

What we ask

• A VMBO or MBO level of education or thinking (Dutch secondary vocational levels, roughly equivalent to a trade school background)
• Experience in a similar role is a plus
• Willingness to take on on-call emergency shifts
• Good at solving problems and working with others
• Eager to learn and willing to work toward certificates

What we offer

• Gross salary of €2,858 to €3,543 per month, depending on experience
• 25 holiday days and 13 ADV days (ADV: reduced working hours arrangement, giving extra days off)
• Extra pay for on-call emergency shifts
• Good pension through PMT
• Flexible hours: 32 or 36 hours per week
• Plenty of training and career development opportunities
• Access to the FiscFree programme, which lets you buy products and services with a tax benefit
