We currently have an opportunity for a Product & Process Technician to join our Bio‑Resource department to cover our Sandall WwTW site. Ideally applicants would need to live with a reasonable commutable distance of Rotherham, Barnsley, or Doncaster and be a part of helping Yorkshire Water to provide the best service to our customers.
Work type
Work type: Permanent. Our assets are operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The role involves 37 hours per week on a 7‑day working pattern, working weekends on a rota, providing 07:00 to 19:00 on‑site cover. Once fully trained you will also take part in an operational out‑of‑hours rota which provides emergency cover for issues that arise outside of the contractual working window. Weekend working will be expected as part of the role with compensatory rest days applied to accommodate this.
Responsibilities
You will be responsible for safely undertaking operational and maintenance activities associated with the day‑to‑day running of wastewater treatment works. This includes conducting daily routine manual and technical work tasks on the site, routine operations, instrument calibration and basic maintenance checks to prevent failure, and managing and prioritising workload according to available resources.
You will take ownership of the site and maintain a safe working environment by implementing and adhering to Health and Safety procedures. This will include managing contractors via Control of Work, inducting visitors onto sites and mitigating and resolving hazards as they arise.
You will use process information, both manual and IT‑based, to proactively optimise the site processes and improve process efficiency in terms of cost of treatment and energy generation. Commercially, you will drive optimisation of all processes to minimise operational costs and meet performance targets.
Qualifications
- Our large Wastewater Treatment Works contain a range of complex processes and control systems, so you will need to be able to demonstrate that you can learn technical processes and be able to problem‑solve and drive process improvements.
- You will have previous knowledge/experience of carrying out technical and manual tasks, preferably in an operational, process‑based industry. You will be able to prioritise your own workload and be proactive in taking ownership of site issues. You will be able to work effectively in a team and be comfortable using a wide range of IT systems.
- This is a key operational role where you will be carrying out manual handling duties, working at heights and dealing with raw sewerage.
- As part of this role, you will be required to work within confined spaces, and any successful candidate must pass strict medical criteria including BMI, vision, blood pressure, hearing, and Spirometry tests to ensure your full safety when working in hazardous environments.
- You require a full valid driving licence with no more than 6 points.
Pre‑employment Checks
If successful for the role, you will be required to undergo pre‑employment checks that will include a Basic Disclosure Check, carried out through a Third‑Party Company, prior to commencing employment.
