Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland. Howâs this for job satisfaction: at Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource. From source to tap, weâre guarding Scotlandâs reputation for refreshingly pure water, and caring for our environment at the same time.  Sound good? Weâre looking for an E&M Field Automation Specialist (FAS) to join our team in the Mannofield area.  What youâll do  As a Field Automation Specialist at Scottish Water, youâll be one of the go-to people keeping our telemetry systems running smoothly â the vital tech that keeps everything connected, efficient and on track.  Youâll work closely with teams across the business to understand whatâs needed and set up systems that deliver. From installing outstations to fine-tuning settings, youâll be the one making sure everythingâs ticking along just right â and jumping in to troubleshoot when itâs not.  Youâll take care of software updates and hardware upgrades with minimal fuss, keeping our everything current and our software library organised and up to date.  Out in the field, youâll be looking after our critical instrumentation â calibrating, maintaining, and fixing the equipment that helps us monitor our processes and collect accurate data. Youâll help drive performance too, producing reports on things like data quality, calibration and maintenance. Youâll be spotting ways we can make our telemetry data even better and supporting your E&M colleagues with any field automation hiccups.  What youâll need  Youâve completed a full apprenticeship and have an HNC or NC in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or maybe youâve built up similar experience in other ways. Either way, you know your stuff when it comes to systems, process, and sorting out those tricky telemetry issues. Youâve also got hands-on experience with calibrating instrumentation.  Databases? No problem. You know how to find what youâre looking for and spot what matters. And of course, youâll know your way around Microsoft Office â even the fiddly bits, like table formatting.  Youâre great at solving problems, making decisions on the go, and staying cool in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment. Youâre also a clear and confident communicator.  As youâll be out and about across Mannofield area, a full UK driving licence is essential.  Beyond that, weâre looking for a few ânice-to-havesâ. If youâve got experience with water and waste water processes or have 17th/18th Edition electrical training under your belt, youâll be off to a great start.  Looking out for you  While the work we do is important, we know itâs not the only thing that matters. Thatâs why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.  This is a full time (35 hours per week) role, with some standby requirements, but youâll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.   When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.   For your future, thereâs our pension (the âknow-what-youâll-get-when-you-retireâ kind), as well as life assurance.  As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash â handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.  The not-so-small print  This role will be a Grade 7. If youâre new to Scottish Water, youâll join us on a starting salary of £44,030. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £55,000.  Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Donât worry - weâll ask your permission before starting these checks.  If youâre interested in this role â or know someone else who might be - weâll be accepting applications until midnight on 17th April 2026. A few final things worth knowing⦠ Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If youâre interested in this job, but donât tick all the boxes, apply anyway! We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So donât rule yourself out!  Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters!). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. Weâre very used to making adjustments, so please donât be afraid to ask.  As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, itâs important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you donât already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months. Please note, Scottish Water takes the safety, health and wellbeing of our employees, colleagues and customers very seriously and as such you may be subject to Drug & Alcohol testing in line with our policy. Finally (finally!), candidates who havenât submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You wonât need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted. Weâre here to help. Ask us anything a t SWRecruitment@ScottishWater.co.uk Â
