About The Role
Trade Effluent Advisor
Working hours: Full time 37 hours per week

Salary From £40,299 - £50,374 (depending On Experience)
Location: Hybrid working with office location at Washington.
About The Role
Are you passionate about caring for the environment? We have an exciting opportunity to join our Wastewater Quality and Compliance team as a Trade Effluent Advisor, working with your colleagues to support us in managing trade effluent discharges and providing excellent service for our customers, communities, and the environment.
The role involves ensuring that discharges of trade effluent into our sewerage network are carefully assessed and managed to prevent harm to the environment. You will be responsible for the issue of consents to discharge to our customers and ensuring continued compliance with environmental conditions, which can involve taking samples and reviewing chemical analysis.
You’ll be working with customers and stakeholders to ensure that our discharges of treated effluent comply with our environmental permits and working alongside colleagues to undertake investigations and site visits.
The role involves onsite technical investigations, accurate evidence gathering, and you will be responsible for the completion of investigation reports, providing feedback and advice to customers and stakeholders to maintain and improve our environmental compliance.
You’ll be self-motivated and able to prioritise a demanding workload to ensure site visits are carried out in a timely manner, discharge consents are issues in accordance with service level agreements and follow up actions and communications are fulfilled.
This role supports a wide number of colleagues across the wastewater directorate to help them achieve strategic objectives.
About You
We’d really like to hear from you if you are genuinely committed to improving our environmental performance.
We’re looking for the successful candidate to have the knowledge and experience of wastewater collection and treatment systems, along with excellent customer service skills. Knowledge and understanding of regulatory frameworks is desirable but not essential, and you should have experience of Quality, Environmental and Health and Safety procedures.
You’ll have proven experience of being a strong team player, involving and supporting others in problem-solving and decision-making processes, along with effective relationship management and networking ability (across all areas of the business and with external stakeholders).
We’re looking for you to have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, along with highly developed literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills. You will be motivated to embrace innovation and to look for and highlight potential improvements in ways of working.
The role requires a full and valid driving licence with the ability to travel around the Northumbrian Water region and the use of your own vehicle.
Here at Northumbrian Water/Essex & Suffolk Water, we embrace and value Diversity, Inclusion and Equity, and encourage all colleagues to bring their most authentic self to work.
Our colleague network groups include our Rainbow Support Network (LGBTQIA+), REACH (Race, Ethnicity, and Cultural Heritage), WiSTEM (Women in STEM) and Thisability (disability and neurodiversity) networks. They provide a safe space for colleagues from diverse backgrounds, welcoming all colleagues regardless of their personal characteristics to participate in valuable conversation that improves our organisational awareness, understanding and inclusivity.
We encourage and welcome all applications, as we strive to be an equal opportunity employer, committed to having diverse communities represented within all our teams, structures, and organisation.
