Keeping Water Safe
Managed Water Services is a specialist UK water safety consultancy built on more than 60 years of expertise in legionella control, water hygiene and water treatment. Our engineers, risk assessors and support teams work with schools, hospitals, care homes, councils and manufacturers right across the country.
We are always glad to hear from people who take pride in doing technical work properly. That might be an experienced water hygiene engineer, a risk assessor ready for the next step, or someone starting out who wants a trade worth sticking with.
Below is what we offer, what we expect in return, and why people tend to stay.
Most People Who Join Us Stay
Ask around our team and you will meet engineers who joined us as trainees and now run their own regions, and office staff who have been here longer than some of our clients.
That comes down to training people properly, backing them when a site gets difficult, and making sure everyone can see a route forward:
Many of our engineers and office team have been with us for more than five years
A clear route from trainee engineer through to senior consultant or regional lead
Funded LCA, City & Guilds and water hygiene training throughout your career
Direct access to the directors, with no layers of management between you and a decision
What You Get
The practical things that make the job work: fair pay, the right kit, proper training and time off you are actually encouraged to take.
None of it is complicated. We pay properly, we train people, and we try not to waste anyone's time.
Pay & Progression
Competitive salaries reviewed every year, with clear bands tied to qualifications and responsibility rather than time served.
Annual salary review for every role
Pay uplifts as you gain new qualifications
Overtime, standby and callout paid at enhanced rates

We fund the tickets you need to do the job, and the ones that take you further than the job you were hired for.
Funded LCA and City & Guilds training
In-house legionella awareness and Responsible Person courses
Paid time for study, assessment and revalidation
Time Off & Balance
Realistic workloads, sensible regional patching, and holiday that grows the longer you stay.
25 days holiday plus bank holidays
An extra day for each full year of service, up to 30
Regional patches designed to limit nights away from home
Health & Wellbeing
Practical support when you need it, not posters in the staff room.
Workplace pension with employer contribution
Confidential employee assistance programme
Occupational health support and company sick pay
Sound Like You?
We recruit on attitude as much as experience. If you are thorough, straight-talking and happy taking responsibility for your own work, we can teach you the technical side.
