Multifunctional Operator
Rothesay WWTW
Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.
Most people don’t think too much about how clean water reaches their taps. But Scottish Water does. In fact, it’s all we think about.
Want to join us? As a Multifunctional Operator, you’ll be on the front lines of making sure Scotland’s water is totally, dependably pure, with the requirement to participate in a 1 in 4 standby rota. The position is based on the Isle of Bute.
What you’ll do
1. Join an experienced team that monitors and maintains processes within the Water Treatment Works, Waste Water Treatment Works, and the Water and Sewer Networks.
2. Ensure that all relevant recording and reporting is completed.
3. Operate and adjust processes in response to the results of samples and tests undertaken.
4. Ensure regular maintenance to enable optimum operation of the site.
5. Carry out repair and maintenance tasks on the water network while dealing with customer-facing related issues.
6. Resolve customer issues and recover any reputational impact our operations have on customers.
7. Conduct regular inspections of plants, reservoirs, and dams.
8. Handle risk assessments and maintain health and safety protocols.
9. Participate in the standby rota for out-of-hours cover.
What you’ll bring
1. Strong communication skills and confidence working independently.
2. Comfort with new computer systems.
3. Attention to detail to prevent inaccurate recordings or health and safety failures.
4. A proactive approach to problem-solving.
5. A valid driving licence.
What you’ll get
We ensure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance. This role has some weekend working and standby requirements, but you’ll get 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays), with the option to buy five more. You can take time off to volunteer in your community.
We have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave, and we embrace flexible working. For your future, there’s a pension plan and life assurance, along with an annual company bonus and access to SW Splash for savings on holidays, bills, and shopping.
The not-so-small print
This role will be a Grade 4. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll start with a salary of £27,590, with performance-driven pay progression allowing you to reach a maximum of £32,410. Your working hours will be Monday to Thursday 8am to 4pm, and Friday 8am to 3.30pm. You will be on an “out of hours standby” rota to provide support during incidents and emergencies, which will be a week in every 5 weeks, subject to change.
If you’re interested in this role – or know someone else who might be - we’ll be accepting applications until midnight on 11th of December 2024.
A few final things worth knowing… Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criterion. If you’re interested in this job, but don’t tick all the boxes, apply anyway! We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So don’t rule yourself out!
Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. We’re committed to making adjustments for candidates with disabilities or neurodiverse conditions.
As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it’s important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don’t already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
Finally, candidates who haven’t submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database.
