I love the crew that I work with, we all get along really well and have a good banter. I also love that every day is different, we very rarely work on the same job for more than a couple of days so there is never time to get bored.

I get given a list of jobs and organise them by location so I can fix leaks in the most efficient way possible. On a typical day, we get calls from the public on water loss, and we go and investigate. I’m either fixing leaks or investigating leaks.
