Aberdeen, United Kingdom Scottish Water Full time

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

It’s not every job where you make a difference for the people of Scotland. But it’s what’s behind every job here. Our work keeps Scotland’s water flowing, from reservoir to tap – and from sewer to treatment plant.

Want to join us? Join as a Sludge Treatment Team Leader on a 12 month fixed term contract or secondment at our Nigg Waste Water Treatment Works, and on occasion may require travel to other sites in Scotland.

What you’ll do

You’ll lead and manage the performance of an operational team treating Bioresource, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and regulations and providing your team with the necessary resources, direction, and skills to deliver service safely.

You will drive the safety focus of team, mitigating any hazards and reducing process risks, as well as leading initiatives to improve plant reliability and operation - ensuring daily focus on efficient task completion, quality, and housekeeping.

This role commands annual operating expenditure of £1M, which you will control and ensure that you deliver the Business Plan that you set each year. You’ll have budgetary responsibility and will support the Capital Programme and other relevant projects and change initiatives.

A key part of the role includes asset improvement and proactive asset upgrade works, providing internal and external stakeholders with clear actions to address issues and upgrades.

What you’ll bring

Treatment experience with Bioresource and sludge treatment processes: anaerobic digestion, thermal hydrolysis, steam boilers, centrifuges, and CHP engines.

It is essential that you are natural Leader, ideally with experience of managing a team to deliver sustainable performance against challenging targets. You will have experience of Leading and embedding change, influencing, and driving the right culture and behaviours.

You will be experienced in driving a strong safety and wellbeing culture, leading teams by example.

You will also have advanced Persuasion and Influencing skills, with a proven history of driving Operational improvements in quality, efficiencies, and cost reduction through improved ways of working. You will achieve this through clearly setting and communicating your expectations, inspiring others to succeed, and openly celebrating success.

Robust financial management and commercial awareness skills are needed to form the foundation of all business decisions.

Incident management experience is also ideal to identify and minimise environmental and customer impact and restore services as quickly and effectively as possible.

Previous beneficial experience includes Control of Contractors, Permits, Steam and Pressure systems and steam boiler operation.

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.

You’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy up to five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take 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), and 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.

Not so small print

This role will be a Grade 7. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll join us on a starting salary of £41,000. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £51,970.

If you’re interested in this role – or know someone else who might be - we’ll be accepting applications until midnight on 6th September.

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. Screening is conducted on our behalf by a third party, and must be completed before your start date. Don’t worry - we’ll only start these checks once you’ve accepted an offer.

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.
