Weâre looking for two Operations Team Leaders to join our E&M Service Delivery  team - one in Aberdeen and one in Inverness. What you'll be doing â¯Â Youâll be at the heart of keeping Scotlandâs water flowing â quite literally. Youâll be leading a skilled, multifunctional craft team, providing Electrical, Mechanical and Field Automation support across Scottish Waterâs operational sites. Youâll own performance, people and processes, making sure your team delivers top-notch service while running an efficient and effective operation. From managing budgets and tackling operational challenges to developing your team, youâll be the driving force behind it all. Safety comes first â always. Youâll lead the way on health, safety and wellbeing initiatives, championing improvements that not only protect your team but set the standard for the wider E&M community. Your work will make a real impact â boosting business performance, exceeding customer expectations, and keeping regulators happy. And you wonât be doing it alone. Youâll work closely with operational teams, building strong relationships and strengthening the E&M service. What youâll bring First and foremost, youâre a people person - a natural leader who knows how to build, support and develop a high-performing team through coaching, delegation and support. Youâre great at bringing people together and working with a wide range of stakeholders, building strong relationships and keeping everyone aligned. Your communication skills are spot on, whether youâre engaging with frontline teams or senior stakeholders, you can break down complex information in a way that makes sense. You keep things moving and make smart decisions, even in a fast-paced, high-demand environment. You can take in information, analyse it, and make the right call when it matters. Tech-savy? Even better. Youâll need solid Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint skills. Familiarity with Ellipse, Salesforce and Take 5 would be a plus, but if youâre a quick learner, weâve got you covered. A solid understanding of Electrical and Mechanical systems, and how they fit into water and waste water processes, would definitely help. Leadership experience? Even better Thatâll be invaluable as you step into this role. And last but not least - youâll need a full, current driving licence for this role.
