Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.
How’s this for job satisfaction: at Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource. From source to tap, we are guarding Scotland’s reputation for refreshingly pure water, and caring for our environment at the same time.
Sound good? We are looking for someone motivated to join the Edinburgh Area Team within Customer Service Delivery.
What you’ll do
1. You’ll operate and maintain aqueducts and reservoirs in compliance with health and safety and operational procedures within allocated geographical area.
2. You’ll contribute to continuous improvement in all aspects of the asset operation and water treatment.
3. You’ll check and maintain intakes into reservoirs ensuring compliance with Health and safety legislation.
4. You’ll update and maintain relevant documentation and systems for audit purposes and ensure compliance with regulations and carry out risk assessments.
5. You’ll ensure security of the plant is adequate and any deficiencies reported to appropriate people e.g. Team Leader.
6. You’ll participate in a standby out of hours rota, and additional overtime as/when required.
What you’ll bring
1. Working knowledge of all assets including large diameter and small diameter mains, shutdowns, etc to operate and maintain the pumping stations, etc.
2. In depth knowledge of operational and Health and Safety and emergency procedures to ensure work is being completed effectively within legislative and regulatory standards.
3. Working knowledge of company systems e.g. water management system, crypto monitors, etc.
4. Knowledge of the geographical area working in, to provide an accurate service to the public.
5. Confined space entry is essential for this role.
Looking out for you
While the work we do is important, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. That’s why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.
This role will include standby. But you’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.
When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.
For your future, there’s our pension (the ‘know-what-you’ll-get-when-you-retire’ kind), as well as life assurance.
As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash – handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
The not-so-small print
This role will be a Grade 2. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll join us on a starting salary of £24,430. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £27,210 (plus standby allowance).
If you’re interested in this role – or know someone else who might be - we’ll be accepting applications until the 27th of January at midnight.
Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Don’t worry - we’ll ask your permission before starting these checks.
A few final things worth knowing…
Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. 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. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters!). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We’re very used to making adjustments, so please don’t be afraid to ask.
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 (finally!), candidates who haven’t submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You won’t need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted.
