Treatment Operator - Waste Water
Allanfearn WWTW
Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.
Most people don’t think too much about how clean water reaches their taps. Or what happens to their wastewater. But Scottish Water does. In fact, it’s all we think about. Want to join us? You’ll be on the front lines of making sure Scotland’s water is totally, dependably pure.
What you’ll do
1. Join a team of Waste Water Operatives who make it their mission to keep Scotland’s water clean.
2. Monitor and maintain treatment processes on wastewater – everything from sedimentation to filtration.
3. Record key numbers and file reports.
4. Analyze samples and test results, recommending ways to improve processes.
5. Oversee regular maintenance to help keep the site (and the water) running smoothly.
What you’ll bring
1. Strong communication skills and confidence in working independently.
2. Comfort with new computer systems.
3. Attention to detail to ensure 0% risk of inaccurate recordings or health and safety failures.
4. A keen eye for spotting changes and trends, with a passion for problem-solving.
5. A valid driving licence (we’ll provide the van) and a willingness to work in less pleasant conditions.
Looking out for you
We know that work isn’t the only thing that matters. That’s why we ensure you have everything you need for a good work-life balance. You’ll get 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays), with the option to buy five more. Paid time off for community volunteering is also available.
We offer family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave, as well as flexible working arrangements. For your future, there’s a pension plan and life assurance, along with an annual company bonus and access to SW Splash for discounts on holidays, bills, and shopping.
