As the UK’s largest privately owned specialist drainage contractor, Lanes Group is dedicated to providing high-quality services to clients across the North East. Our Middlesbrough depot in Stockton-on-Tees has played an essential role in this for over 25 years, and we’re always looking to recruit skilled professionals to help us continue meeting the needs of our domestic and commercial customers across the region.

The Stockton depot is based in County Durham and delivers planned and reactive wastewater network service maintenance work for our client Northumbrian Water, which serves 2.7 million people over an area of 1,488 miles. Our work in Middlesbrough ranges from unblocking and cleaning sewers and maintaining water treatment works to full CCTV surveys of existing assets.

We’ve operated in Stockton since 1999 and continue to invest in the region. Our Stockton depot now functions as an advanced operational hub dedicated to delivering essential services for Northumbrian Water. The site is equipped with over £1 million worth of modern plant and specialist equipment, giving our skilled local workforce access to some of the industry’s most up-to-date tools and technology.

We’re currently looking to grow our presence, and have a number of jobs in Middlesbrough available for skilled professionals. We offer a range of exciting opportunities for staff who are looking for varied roles with long-term career development prospects.

Our Middlesbrough facility employs people in drainage jobs from all over the region, including:

Who we employ at the Middlesbrough depot

HGV driver/operators

We are always looking for qualified HGV operators to join our team. Successful candidates will be able to take the wheel of one of our distinctive fleet of Lanes vehicles and get directly involved in the essential engineering, repair and maintenance work we perform.

Our driver/operator job vacancies in Middlesbrough are much more than basic driver roles; team members will go hands-on with our top-of-the-range tools and equipment, while interacting directly with clients to deliver a sensitive and responsive customer experience.

All drivers will receive extensive training to prepare them for the role, meaning prior drainage industry experience is not essential. As such, this could be an ideal opportunity for professional drivers to retrain in an exciting new line of work.

Roles include:

• HGV drivers
• Jet vac operators

Across the business, women are employed in leadership, engineering, operations and technical roles, shaping the future of the company and offering guidance to others building their careers. We also offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, helping everyone balance professional and personal responsibilities.
