When you see the world as we do, you see the chance to help the world take better care of its resources, and help it become a better place for everyone.

We know that everyone here at Veolia can help us work alongside our communities, look after the environment, and contribute to our inclusive culture.
The Seafield Site Manager leads operations at Scotland's largest wastewater treatment plant in Leith, Edinburgh, treating 300 million litres daily and managing a Bioresources Treatment Centre where biosolids are recycled in a safe and sustainable way out to agriculture. We also harness biogas into a renewable source of energy and use it to power the site, with any surplus put back into the grid.

- One paid days leave every year to volunteer and support your community
- Ongoing training and development opportunities, allowing you to reach your full potential
What you'll be doing;
- Lead operational teams to deliver safe, resilient and compliant wastewater and bioresources treatment centre operations including anaerobic digestion, thermal hydrolysis plant, boilers and CHP engines.
- Manage plant operations in accordance with environmental permits, VMR toolkit standards, ISO requirements and contractual obligations.
- Monitor day-to-day treatment plant operations, optimise performance and ensure compliance with discharge licences.
- Develop and embed a culture of safety excellence, promote positive behaviours and manage all safety reporting systems.
- Oversee budgets, CAPEX, plant availability, project progress and ensure alignment with KPIs while managing operational risks.
- Lead performance optimisation initiatives by identifying cost-saving opportunities and implementing plant improvements
What we're looking for;
- Degree in a relevant engineering or technical subject (chemical, process, industrial or similar disciplines) or equivalent experience in wastewater treatment operation and energy centre operation (Boilers & CHP engines).
- IOSH certification with demonstrated commitment to safety leadership.
- Experience leading and developing people in a water treatment environment with proven team management capabilities.
- Advanced skills in informed decision making, continuous improvement and project management.
- Proficiency in business acumen, financial management, relationship management and effective communication.
