To be successful in this role you will have proven skills, knowledge and experience operating, maintaining and improving wastewater treatment plant and equipment, be a reliable team player and a problem solver with a ‘can do’ attitude and come with an aptitude for cross team collaboration, communication and leadership.
We need someone with a keen eye for detail, the ability to learn quickly, have a solid health and safety mind-set and care about our community and the natural environment.
Ideally you will have a Diploma in Wastewater Treatment at NZQCF Level 5, be working towards it with a Certificate in Wastewater Treatment at NZQCF Level 4 or equivalent knowledge and experience.
