We’re recruiting experienced Site Operatives to join our growing water sector team.

With our workload across clean and wastewater infrastructure continuing to increase, we’re looking for people who want to build their experience within specialist repair and maintenance.

Our site teams are directly employed by TSM and deliver all of our specialist works ourselves. For our operatives, that means exposure to a varied range of projects, techniques and working environments across the UK.

The role could involve concrete repairs, liquid-applied waterproofing, joint replacement, crack and resin injection, Hypalon bandage systems, formwork and other specialist structural repair and protection works.

We’re looking for experienced operatives who take pride in the standard of their work, understand the importance of working safely and are keen to continue developing their skills.

You’ll need:

• Valid UK driving licence

• CSCS card

• NVQ or be working towards a relevant qualification

• Good understanding of site health and safety

• Willingness to travel and stay away when projects require it

• Confidence working in confined spaces and demanding site environments

Qualifications including EUSR Water Hygiene, Confined Spaces, SSSTS/SMSTS, First Aid and Slinger/Signaller would be advantageous but aren’t essential.

A competitive salary is available, with night shifts paid at double time, weekend work paid at x1.5 on Saturdays and x2 on Sundays.

Training and development opportunities are available as part of the role, with the chance to broaden your experience across TSM’s specialist capabilities as the business continues to grow.

One of the biggest threats to reinforced concrete isn't always visible.

As concrete carbonates, or chlorides pe*****te the concrete cover, the passive layer protecting the reinforcement can break down. Once corrosion initiates, the steel expands, causing tensile stresses within the concrete that eventually lead to cracking, delamination and spalling.

By the time these defects become visible, deterioration is often already well advanced.

That's why cathodic protection is such an important asset preservation strategy.

Rather than repeatedly repairing the effects of corrosion, cathodic protection arrests the corrosion process at its source, extending service life, reducing whole-life costs and minimising future intervention.

When it comes to protecting critical infrastructure, prevention will always outperform repair.

Concrete structures are designed for longevity, but they are not immune to deterioration.

Over time, exposure to water, chlorides, carbonation, aggressive chemicals and repeated loading or overloading can initiate deterioration beneath the surface, often long before visible defects become apparent.

Cracking, spalling and reinforcement corrosion are rarely the root cause, they're usually the visible symptoms of a process that has been developing over many years.

That's why effective structural repair starts with understanding the mechanism of deterioration, not simply repairing the defect.

Through detailed investigation and condition assessment, the underlying cause can be identified, allowing repairs to be designed that not only restore the asset but help protect its long term performance and service life.

Six years ago, TSM was starting out.

This year, we marked the milestone a little differently - by bringing the team together for our first TSM Hog Roast.

With people working across different projects, locations and disciplines, it is not often that everyone gets the chance to spend time together away from the day to day.

The afternoon gave everyone the opportunity to catch up and enjoy a few hours together at the yard.
As the business grows, making time for the team becomes even more important.

The feedback from the team has been clear……this needs to become an annual event!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day happen and to everyone who continues to play a part in TSM’s growth.

Protecting below ground structures requires a waterproofing system designed for the conditions it will face.

External waterproofing plays an important role in helping structures withstand the environments they operate within, particularly where water ingress could impact long term performance.

For the Willow Holt Farm project in Seaton, TSM installed Newton HydroBond 402, a high performance sheet membrane designed for the external waterproofing of below ground foundation structures, basements, water holding tanks, culverts and tunnel bases.

The performance of any waterproofing system depends on more than the membrane itself.

Understanding the structure, the conditions it will be exposed to and ensuring correct installation are all essential parts of delivering effective protection.

Specialist waterproofing is about more than applying a barrier. It is about understanding the demands placed on the structure and delivering a system designed to perform within that environment.

Rail maintenance is dictated by the railway, not the other way around.

Every possession or access window is planned around keeping the network moving safely. Whether the work involves structures, drainage, electrification or other critical infrastructure, every minute of that window matters.

Teams arrive knowing exactly what needs to be delivered, with the right people, materials and equipment in place before work begins. Once the possession starts, there is little room for delay or rework, and the railway must be handed back safely and on time.

Success isn't just about completing the work. It's about delivering it efficiently, meeting the possession requirements and returning the asset to service exactly when the railway needs it.

Reactive maintenance tests everything that sits behind a business.

When an unexpected issue occurs, there is no time to build a response from scratch.

Teams need to understand the situation quickly, have access to the equipment required and know how to move from assessment into action.

TSM’s reactive works are supported by our own directly employed teams, specialist equipment and the resources needed to respond when urgent infrastructure requirements arise.

That means the knowledge, experience and capability required on site already sits within the business.

Because when an emergency happens, the response is shaped long before the call comes in.

For TSM Contracts Manager Paul Dart, Paul’s FC Newport Pagnell Town has been part of his life for many years.

Having played for the club in 2000/2001, Paul now gives his time coaching the U18 and U23 teams, supporting the next generation of players coming through.

TSM was proud to sponsor the boards at the club, supporting a team that has played such an important role in Paul’s own journey and the wider Newport community.

The connection runs even deeper, with one of the club’s stands named after Paul’s brother.

Supporting local organisations is not just about putting a name on a board. It is about being part of the communities that matter to the people within our business.
