Day-to-day, you'll monitor and maintain treatment processes on wastewater treatment assts, maintain and operate pumping stations and clear chokes on the wastewater network.
Requirements
We're also looking for a strong team player who's willing to roll up their sleeves-this is a hands-on role in a physical environment, where you'll sometimes be working in challenging conditions. But don't worry, full training and protective equipment will be provided to keep you safe.
Looking out for you
While the work we do is important, we know it's not the only thing that matters. That's why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.
This role includes standby responsibilities. But you'll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.
When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.
For your future, there's our pension (the 'know-what-you'll-get-when-you-retire' kind), as well as life assurance.
As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash - handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
The not-so-small print
This role will be a Grade 4. If you're new to Scottish Water, you'll join us on a starting salary of £31,640. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £36,460.
We operate Balanced Hybrid working at Scottish Water and we encourage people to work half their time in a Scottish Water location.
If you're interested in this role - or know someone else who might be - we'll be accepting applications until the 22nd June 2026 at midnight.
A few final things worth knowing...
As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it's important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don't already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
Please note, Scottish Water takes the safety, health and wellbeing of our employees, colleagues and customers very seriously and as such you may be subject to Drug & Alcohol testing in line with our policy.
Finally (finally!), candidates who haven't submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You won't need to do
