The successful candidate will be a practical, hands-on leader who can make sound decisions in a fast-paced operating environment.
Responsibilities will include assigning work, coordinating shift coverage, coaching and developing team members, and monitoring plant performance. You will oversee treatment processes, influent and effluent conditions, chemical usage, equipment operation, sampling, laboratory results, and process adjustments. The role will also involve reviewing operating data and maintenance needs, supporting inspections and audits, investigating process issues, responding to alarms and operational emergencies, and maintaining accurate records and reports.
