Looking for Stability, Not Just Your Next Job?

Jet Rod Ltd is a well\-established, family\-owned drainage company based in Swindon. We’re not a large corporate — we’re a small, professional team that takes pride in doing things properly and looking after our staff.

We’re looking for a reliable, committed Groundworker / Drainage Engineer who wants a long\-term position, not short\-term contracts or seasonal work.

If you want somewhere you can settle, develop your skills, and be part of a tight\-knit team where your work genuinely matters, we’d like to hear from you.

About the Role

This is a hands\-on, outdoor role involving a wide variety of work, including:

• Groundworks for drainage systems


• Drain repairs and reinstatement


• Soakaway installations


• Excavation and reinstatement (excavator use essential)


• High\-pressure jetting and unblocking


• CCTV drain surveys (training provided if needed)

You’ll travel between jobs in a company vehicle and work closely with a small team that supports each other and takes pride in doing a proper job.

✔ Stable, full\-time employment
✔ Structured Monday–Friday schedule
✔ Fair and organised on\-call rota (Currently 1 week in 5\)
