The role
Whether you’re skilled in a single discipline or bring a dual skillset to the table, this is your opportunity to make an impact-and grow while you’re doing it. We’re looking for a motivated and hands-on professional to join our Lancaster Wastewater Treatment Works, where you’ll be part of a modern, fast-paced maintenance environment focused on keeping critical water assets running smoothly. This role starts as a single-skill position, but there’s real scope to expand into a multi-skilled role through our on-the-job development and support. If you already have that secondary skill-even better. Show us what you’ve got! You’ll be delivering proactive planned and reactive support across your area of expertise while helping us stay compliant with all statutory, regulatory, and environmental standards. There’s also the chance to get involved in shaping capital and operational projects, ensuring our assets are not just functional-but future ready. Due to the nature of the role, you’ll need to be comfortable working alone at times, as well as part of a wider, collaborative team. You’ll also be required to work in confined spaces and take part in our standby rota.
