Can an AUS work for water company in the UK?

HI
My partner is a dual citizen and currently is a qualified plumber working on water mains and supply pipes. We are looking at doing a working holiday to travel around Europe.
Was wondering if his skills are transferable and what is the equivalent job in the UK? Ive looked on the water jobs website but cant seem to find the job title.
Any advice regarding this topic would be great. Thanks

Each region has its own water company which will advertise jobs so you’d need to look for the ones in the part of the country you are visiting

https://www.severntrent.com/careers/ is my local area for example.

I’d be surprised if it’s viable for your partner though, as there will be some fairly significant differences between countries that would need training, and they aren’t going to want to invest that time and effort in someone planning on moving on in a few months.

You might have more luck looking for jobs on building sites who are more used to temp workers. He’ll need to get a CSCS card to be employable but that’s easy.
