Sewerage & Drainage Maintenance

Energy & Utility Skills invites industry stakeholders to take part in our online consultation for the Sewerage & Drainage Maintenance National Occupational Standards (NOS) review.

Following a series of industry workshops and drafting of the revised suite, we’re asking industry stakeholders from across the UK to review and comment on the NOS to ensure they reflect industry best practice.

Sewerage & Drainage Maintenance Online Consultation – closes 5pm Friday 29 November 2024.

Further details can be found here.

In addition to the Sewerage NOS, the team are currently reviewing the following NOS suites and are asking industry to get involved.

Utility Management Skills

After numerous industry workshops, it’s been agreed the suite will cover the managing, planning, installation, operation, maintenance and resolution of incident on the utilities networks.

Utility Network Design (previously Gas Network Engineering Management)

Following our initial review, it was identified that the original Gas Network Engineering Management suite lacked gas specific activities. With agreement from industry representatives, the suite will now become Utility Design Network, covering the design of utility networks.

To register your interest, please contact me, or email standardsreview@euskills.co.uk with your contact details and a member of the team will be in touch.

Scottish Qualification Review

Alongside the consultation on the draft NOS, and using the draft NOS as building blocks, we are progressing with the review of the Sewerage Maintenance and Drainage Operations Scottish Qualification. An industry workshop is being arranged for Scottish stakeholders, and if you’d like to be involved, please email standardsreview@euskills.co.uk.
