If you’re up a challenge, have a passion for Automation along with some relevant experience, then please read on.
LET’S TELL YOU MORE
In this role you will provide day to day automation support to water, waste & bio resources operational teams in the Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire Areas. You will primarily be responsible for programming, maintaining and repairing Rockwell & Mitsubishi PLC, HMI, SCADA systems and any associated industrial control networks. Experience working with Rockwell & Mitsubishi products and software is advantageous, however familiarisation and training on these products can be provided.
We will also want you to deliver water & waste treatment efficiencies and improvements through process control and visualisation improvements so experience working with telemetry systems and instrumentation for pressure, flow, level, chlorine residual, turbidity and ph measurement is preferred. Additionally, you will be expected to enable the use of accurate data to inform good decision making within the business and lead in the management of software backups and control for all ICA systems in our area.
You will be given the opportunity to further develop your own skills in role and lead in the development of our operational team’s automation skills, whilst looking to deliver an improved customer experience through the innovative use of automation for predictive control of Non-Infra and Infra processes/assets. You will also be called upon to support and ensure new ICA systems are standardised and meet STW standards.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Of course, it’s important that we attract the right skill sets, and those with the right experience but we value character, positivity and a caring attitude in equal weight.
We want people who show up and roll their sleeves up. Restless spirits who are ready to be part of something bigger, who care, who really care... because when you really care, you’ll go above and beyond. When you really care you don’t just talk about it, you do more.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We employ thousands of people from across our community who really care about what they do. Because that is how we do what we do.
And when it comes to inclusion, we’re making sure we keep up the progress with our wonderful working groups – LGBTQ+, Women in Operations & STEM, Disability and Ethnicity; who help us do just that.
We do more, because we care.
