Leakage / Network Operations Manager
Role Overview
Our client is seeking an experienced Field Supervisor to oversee a team of logging technicians working within a large clean water network. This role is focused on people management, operational delivery, and field supervision rather than hands-on technical logging.
The successful candidate will ensure that teams operate safely, efficiently, and in line with company and client expectations while supporting leakage detection activities across the network.
