24 hours a day, 365 days a year we serve 4.8 million households and businesses across the heart of the UK. Each cuppa drank and every toilet flushed is only possible because of the 6,500 brilliant team members working across our patch.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality. We know diverse minds, experiences, and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our customers and the communities where they live.
Are you looking for a new career and love to solve problems? We have an exciting new opportunity as an Operational Technician!
Job Responsibilities
Working within our forward-thinking Waste Water Recycling department, the role will be to safely operate and maintain a diverse range of equipment at our Sewage Treatment works and Sewage Pumping Station sites across the Scunthorpe area. You’ll protect and enhance our regions environment, whilst providing an essential service to the community.
With support and training, you’ll become part of a team of experts who are at the front line of enhancing our regions rivers. Day to day you’ll be responsible for making sure our treatment processes are working optimally to deliver this important work. We’ll also welcome your ideas and a new mindset to continually improve what we do on a day-to-day basis.
The role holder is likely to be based at one of our main sewage treatment works depending on home location but could also start from home straight to site working throughout the local geographical area. You will be provided with a vehicle for business use, plus safety clothing and tools appropriate to the job.
We also have a competency framework to support your development from “New Starter (foundation)” through to “Skilled”, with the option to progress to “Expert” status.
In this role, you will ensure our sites and assets are operated effectively, efficiently, and safely, through complying with and contributing to statutory, company & treatment works policies and procedures.
What You’ll Bring To The Role
Having experience in Wastewater Treatment, Sludge Treatment, or Sewage Pumping Stations and associated process knowledge would be very welcome but it’s not essential. If you have a passion to learn, we will support you with the relevant training.
A full UK driving licence is essential. The successful candidate will be required to achieve the qualification Level 2 – Waste Water Process Operator as part of their continuous development and delivered by our Academy.
The right skills and experience are important, but if you have the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude we’d love to talk to you too!
