Southern Water is seeking a Water Supply Shift Controller to oversee the operation and maintenance of the Testwood Water Supply Works. This permanent role requires ownership of a valid Driver's Licence due to the location's distance from public transport.
The role offers a salary of approximately £27,496.64 per annum plus a 20% shift allowance, with additional shift and standby payments depending on skills and experience.
As a Shift Controller, you will monitor and adjust water supply operations, ensuring compliance with water quality standards, environmental regulations, and health and safety requirements. Your responsibilities include managing continuous operations, preventing non-potable water from leaving the site, and responding to alarms and process changes promptly.
The shift pattern involves 12-hour shifts: 4 days from 6am to 6pm, followed by 4 days off, then another 4 days of 6am-6pm shifts, 2 nights, and subsequent days off, including standby duties. Flexibility to cover standby rota on some days off is required.
This role offers the opportunity to be part of a team involved in significant capital projects, contributing to a resilient water future for the South East. Southern Water emphasizes a customer-focused approach, with 24/7 incident support to ensure service reliability.
