3 Waters Operations Technician/trainee

2 months ago

Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand Dunedin City Council Full time

Are you looking for a foot on the career ladder or a move to one of NZ's largest water suppliers? These roles often suit people that are considering a career in the trades or who are already in the trades and looking for a change in direction.


The residents of Dunedin along with visitors to the city are provided with safe drinking water supplied by six water treatment plants.

These modern plants provide high quality drinking water which is required to meet the NZ Drinking Water Standards.

The people who operate Dunedin's water treatment plants make an important contribution to the public health of the community in which they live and work.


With water reform in the pipeline, the Technician/Trainee will need to adapt to challenges that come with the rapidly changing environment.

The Dunedin City Council is about to embark on a programme of water treatment plant upgrades and improvements that will put us at the cutting edge of technology and innovation.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, reliable, punctual, honest and motivated individual with a great attitude to join our 3 Waters Team based at our water treatment plants.


As a Trainee you don't need specific experience in the industry, however it is important to have a genuine interest and commitment to learning about the process of treating water.

To thrive in our operational and physically demanding environment, you will enjoy hands-on activity, problem solving and will be comfortable working with technology.

You will follow a structured training programme, undertaking an apprenticeship and gaining an industry standard level four qualification in water treatment.

Upon successful completion of the trainee programme, you will become a qualified Water Treatment Technician and will be part of a dedicated operations team that manage and operate the water and wastewater systems of Dunedin.

As a qualified Technician there are career pathways to further development within these industries and in leadership or asset management strands.
