service, aiming to enhance and protect the environment, whilst also improving the quality of
rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of wildlife and the communities we serve. We are
excited to offer you the opportunity to join our team as a Wastewater Production Operator,
where you will play a vital role in delivering this essential service.

technical aspects of this role. We seek someone with transferable skills which would allow
them to develop and succeed in this position. Northumbrian Water is committed to

Working as part of a team, you will be responsible for operating and controlling wastewater
treatment works and pumping stations across the Aycliffe and South Durham area. You will
carry out routine tasks to ensure that our wastewater assets are operating correctly.
Daily tasks 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.
During a normal day you will collaborate and communicate with a diverse range of teams to

About you
We want to speak to people who can bring a good combination of technical and

communicator, both verbally and written. You will be a good problem-solver allowing you to
respond quickly to issues, understand the problem, and identify the best solution.
We are looking for a team player who is adaptable to meet a varied workload and someone
who is also comfortable working alone with minimal supervision. You will be proactive by
nature and willing to make suggestions for improvement.

assets is done via visual checks on site, computer systems and lab analysis, so an eye for
detail and ability to follow processes and procedures is required. You will be computer

The role involves pumps and process equipment so any prior experience or working with
equipment would be advantageous, however this is not essential as training would be given.
