Every day is different, you will be working in all weather conditions carrying out a range of tasks, to ensure the essential functions of our wastewater treatment works and wastewater pumping stations operate to maintain the supply to our customers and protect the environment.

Although work is generated to you on a weekly basis, you will be managing your own time, giving you the freedom and flexibility to design your own working week, you will learn how to be organised and proactive. 

Your core responsibilities will be:

• Compliance testing.
• Maintenance tasks - unblocking pumps, screens and valves to ensure continuous plant operation.
• Repair of alarms systems.
• Monitoring, collating and reporting of data to ensure statutory and regulatory compliance.
• Fault finding and problem-solving skills are essential to respond to breakdowns.

• Prepared to work within the company’s rota of a 7-day working week and participate on a standby rota.
• Part of a team who delivers excellent performance by understanding how you affect the overall mission of Southern Water.
• Have a good sense of humour, because of what you will be working with and not to be too squeamish…
• Adaptable, flexible, patient, reliable and self-motivated.
• Good with time management
• Confident to work effectively and efficiently on your own.
• Keen to learn and operate complex processes with high quality controls.

Qualifications:

• GCSEs grade 3 including Maths, English and Science
• Valid UK Manual Drivers Licence

Does this opportunity excite you but you’re not 100% sure if you meet all the requirements for the role? Or are you concerned that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t possible given your personal circumstances? Whilst we can’t accommodate every flexible working request, we’ll try to find a practical solution. So why not engage with us and find out more about this role?

Join our Wastewater Treatment Team and see how far your career could progress with a company committed to career progression, training and development opportunities, our customers, and the environment.
