Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland. Most people donât think too much about how clean water reaches their taps. Or what happens to their wastewater.  But Scottish Water does. In fact, itâs all we think about.  Want to join us? Youâll be on the front lines of making sure Scotlandâs water is totally, dependably pure.  What youâll do  Youâll join a team Waste Water Operatives who make it their mission to keep Scotlandâs water clean. On the one hand, itâs about meeting regulations. On the other, itâs about how we can do even more â all the while doing whatâs right for the environment.  Day-to-day, youâll monitor and maintain treatment processes on waste water â everything from sedimentation to filtration. Along the way, youâll record the key numbers and file reports. Samples and test results play a big part too, and youâll recommend ways to improve processes wherever possible. Youâll also oversee regular maintenance to help keep the site (and the water) running smoothly.  What youâll bring  Weâll get you fully up-to-speed on the technical bits of the job. Before any of that, youâll bring a way with words and be confident working on your own.  Comfortable turning your mouse-clicking finger to new computer systems? Good, we like to move with the times.  Attention to detail is a must. On your watch, the risk of inaccurate recordings or health and safety failures will be 0%. An eye for spotting changes and trends is helpful and of course, youâll relish solving a problem. As part of the team, youâll take your turn on the standby rota for out-of-hours work too.  Youâll need a valid driving licence, but weâll provide the van. And â cards on the table â treatment plants donât smell of cut grass and freshly baked bread â so youâll need to be okay with a bit of a whiff. All for the good of Scotlandâs water.  Looking out for you  While the work we do is important, we know itâs not the only thing that matters. Thatâs why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.  But youâll 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, thereâs our pension (the âknow-what-youâll-get-when-you-retireâ 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 â handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.  The not-so-small print  This role will be a Grade 4. If youâre new to Scottish Water, youâll join us on a starting salary of £27,590. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £32,410.  If youâre interested in this role â or know someone else who might be - weâll be accepting applications until midnight on 19th February 2025.  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. Donât worry - weâll 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 youâre interested in this job, but donât 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 donât 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. Weâre very used to making adjustments, so please donât be afraid to ask.  As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, itâs important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you donât already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.  Finally (finally), candidates who havenât submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You wonât need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted. Weâre here to help. Ask us anything at SWRecruitmentScottishWater.co.uk Â
