- Escalate non-routine events such as breakdowns, non-compliance, or environmental incidents.
- Support contractors, suppliers, and other teams on site, ensuring all work is carried out safely and without risk to water quality.
- Where required, carry out additional duties such as reservoir inspection and record-keeping.
- Work safely with chemicals, toxic gases, and dangerous goods, following appropriate safe systems of work.
- Maintain accurate and timely site records, including diaries, logs, calibration data, chemical stocks, lab results, fire alarm tests, and health & safety records.
- Monitor and manage chemical inventory levels to ensure adequate supply at all times.
To be successful in this role, you'll bring:
- Experience in process operations, preferably within water treatment or a related industry.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret data.
