Most people don’t think too much about how clean water reaches their taps.
Scottish Water does. In fact, it’s all we think about.
Want to join us? As a Water Operative, you’ll be on the front lines of making sure Scotland’s water is totally, dependably pure. You will join on a full-time permanent basis with the requirement to participate in a standby rota.
What you’ll do
You’ll join an experienced team that really knows its water, helping to monitor and maintain the quality of water at our treatment works and pumping stations.
Our TOMS procedures will be your guiding star in operating the plant – you’ll calibrate monitors, filters, tank levels and more. And you’ll be the source of recordings on water quality, sorting the ‘exceptional’ from the ‘needs attention’ across measures including pH, chlorine, aluminium, and phosphate.
You probably figured it out already, but our aim is always to go beyond what the law and regulations expect of us.
Join, and we’ll get you measured for a hardhat – regular inspections of plants, reservoirs and dams are part of the routine. You’ll also handle risk assessments and keep a close eye on health and safety protocols. As part of the team, you’ll take your turn on the standby rota for out-of-hours cover.
What you’ll bring
We’ll get you fully up to speed on the technical bits of the job. You’ll bring strong communication skills and confidence working on your own. And be comfortable turning your hand to new computer systems – we like to move with the times.
Attention to detail is a must: on your watch there should be no risk of inaccurate recordings or health and safety failures. An eye for spotting trends is helpful and you’ll love solving a problem – on your own initiative and with help from site colleagues.
You’ll need a valid driving licence, but we’ll provide the van.
Beyond that, we’re looking for a few ‘nice-to-haves’. Knowledge of water treatment processes and distribution systems would obviously be great. Mechanical maintenance experience? Perfect. But none of these are essential.
This role will be a Grade 4. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll join us on a starting salary of £30,440. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £35,260.
If you’re interested in this role – or know someone else who might be - we’ll be accepting applications until midnight on the 25th September 2025.
