Willington, United Kingdom Northumbrian Water Full time

About the role

At Northumbrian Water we provide both water and sewerage services to 2.7 million customers in the Northeast of England. This role focuses on our wastewater treatment service, aiming to enhance and protect the environment, whilst also improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of wildlife and the communities we serve. We are excited to offer you the opportunity to join our team as a Wastewater Operator, where you will play a vital role in delivering this essential service.

This role offers full training to support the successful candidate to complete the various technical aspects of this role. This means we’re seeking someone with transferrable skills which would allow them to develop into this position.

We understand the importance of professional development which means we offer opportunities for training and growth within the organisation.

Daily responsibilities would involve sampling and analysing the water to ensure it is treated to the correct standards, identifying issues with equipment, and carrying out routine checks on the assets.

Working as part of a team, you will be responsible for operating and controlling wastewater treatment works and pumping stations across the Willington area. You will carry out routine tasks to ensure that our wastewater assets are operating correctly.

You would be using data from company systems to identify trends in performance and when issues arise. This means you will undertake fault-finding investigations with support from the wider Team.

In addition you will collaborate and communicate with a diverse range of teams to ensure we maintain compliance with our regulatory obligations and protect the environment.

About you

Communication is essential in this role therefore we seek someone who is an excellent communicator, both verbally and written. You will be a good problem-solver allowing you to respond quickly to issues, understand the problem, and identify the best solution.

We are looking for a team player who is adaptable to meet a varied workload and someone who is also comfortable working alone with minimal supervision. You will be proactive by nature and willing to make suggestions for improvement.

If you have good attention to detail, then we would like to hear from you. Monitoring the assets is done via visual checks on site, computer systems and lab analysis, so an ability to follow processes and procedures is required. You will be computer literate and willing to use new Apps.

We’re committed to ensuring “Everyone Home Safe Everyday” therefore awareness of health and safety would be beneficial. You would be using company safety devices to ensure you have the support and controls needed.

The role involves pumps and process equipment so any prior experience or working with equipment would be advantageous, however this is not essential as training would be given.

The water industry is forever changing therefore you need to be adaptable to meet business need.

If you are practical, pragmatic and enjoy hands-on problem solving then this could be a great role for you. Please note you will need a full valid UK manual driving licence.
