About The Role
Are you passionate about the environment and wastewater treatment?
We are currently looking for a Production Operator to work at Bran Sands STW. Working as part of a team, the successful candidate will be responsible for operating and controlling a large Wastewater Treatment Works, as well as the Advanced Anaerobic Digestion facility on site.

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.
You would be using data from company systems to identify trends in performance and when issues arise 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.
