UK infrastructure maintenance services for water, rail, and utility networks
Lanes Group operates a field-heavy infrastructure maintenance business across water utilities, rail, and highways, with 1,000+ employees concentrated in operations and engineering. The tech stack reflects a traditional asset-management shape—Salesforce, SAP, NetSuite, CAD, GIS, Samsara fleet tracking—rather than a software product company. Active hiring (493 roles) skews operations and field engineering, with pain points centered on safety compliance, network drainage problems, and equipment budgeting, indicating pressure to scale physical capacity while managing regulatory and safety overhead.
