Level 2 NCO Water – Repair and Maintenance Qualification

Certify Your Water Repair Skills Without Leaving Site

The Level 2 Diploma in Network Construction Operations Water Repair and Maintenance pathway is the nationally recognised qualification for operatives who locate faults, carry out repairs, and restore water assets to operational condition.

With Evolution Safety Solutions, you complete this qualification while working on the job — no classroom, no off-site assessments. All evidence is uploaded remotely through QualsDirect, our secure e-portfolio platform.

This assessment-only route is ideal for experienced repair and maintenance operatives who want to achieve a formal, employer-recognised certification.

Who Is This Qualification For?

This route is designed for:

• Operatives who repair burst or damaged water mains or services
• Engineers working in reactive or planned maintenance teams
• Utility contractors on clean water frameworks
• Employers needing qualified personnel to meet DWI, CSCS, or EUSR requirements

You must be actively working in a water network role. All assessment is based on your real-world tasks — we do not offer simulated training or classroom-based learning.

What You’ll Be Assessed On

To complete the qualification, you will work through:

1. Group A – Core Mandatory Units

• ✅ Health and safety
• ✅ Avoiding underground services
• ✅ Excavation and trench safety

All assessment tasks map to the qualification specification and national occupational standards. We omit nothing and assume nothing—you cover every Learning Outcome (LO) and Assessment Criterion (AC).
