    An exciting opportunity awaits for a Process Engineer to join the Water Production team at Yorkshire Water, contributing to delivering exceptional service to customers. Does this sound like you?

    Everyone has a general idea of what a water company does. In Yorkshire, we ensure that over 5.4 million residents and numerous visitors have access to clean and safe drinking water, and effective wastewater management. But, for us, it means much more.

    We serve communities, safeguard the environment, and are dedicated to maintaining Yorkshire's water supply round the clock, every day of the year. Our essential water and wastewater services reach every corner of Yorkshire, playing a crucial role in the region's well-being and prosperity.

    With new environmental laws, substantial investment levels, and evolving customer expectations, now is a thrilling time to explore opportunities in the water industry. Water Production is pivotal in our strategy to meet changing customer demands and regulatory standards.

    Water Production operates in a dynamic, closely-knit environment where water undergoes continuous treatment at 50 Water Treatment Works to provide clean drinking water to our customers. These facilities are extensive manufacturing units using various chemicals and processes to convert raw water to potable water, equipped with a range of mechanical and electrical machinery. This role focuses on operational tasks rather than design or supervisory duties for Process Engineers.

    Your role:

    • Monitor and undertake operational and plant maintenance tasks at a Water Treatment Works to supply safe water to customers. Responsibilities include cleaning and calibrating instruments, conducting Water Quality tests, troubleshooting treatment issues, analyzing trend data, maintaining process tanks, executing pipework repairs, collaborating with colleagues to resolve faults, handling chemical deliveries to ensure compliance with water quality and environmental standards, and maintaining health, safety, and process safety across the Yorkshire Dales water treatment works.
    • Optimize clean water treatment processes chemically and operationally to meet production targets and control costs. Lead optimization efforts, share best practices, and minimize service downtime. Manage asset failures, facilitate operational recoveries, and monitor cost data.
    • Review Risk Assessments and Method Statements, control work procedures, follow safety protocols, identify hazards, implement mitigation measures, update reporting systems to ensure compliance with Health & Safety, Water Quality Regulations, and Environment Agency guidelines at all times.
    • Play a critical role in executing on-site operational tasks, providing support during incidents, ensuring proper escalation and management of events.
    • Promote Modernization strategies to reduce asset failures through Dynamic Asset Maintenance, supporting the new operational asset management system (ERP).

    Required skills & qualifications:

    • The ideal candidate is versatile, hands-on, with or without prior Water Treatment experience, willing to learn, self-motivated, and familiar with Health, Safety, and Environmental obligations. Proficient in fault-finding, data analysis, and trend identification.
    • Detail-oriented, IT savvy, familiar with risk management practices, open to innovation, and adaptable to a fast-paced operational setting.
    • Capable of nurturing relationships with internal and external stakeholders, aligning with business objectives and service partners.
    • Preferred experience in a commercial, regulated environment, potentially in water, wastewater, utilities, or manufacturing sectors. Previous confined space work necessitates passing stringent medical assessments ensuring personal safety in hazardous environments.
    • Full UK driving license is mandatory for site visits. Limited points on the driving license are allowed, and flexibility is essential for responding to off-hour incidents on a rotational basis.

    If you aspire to contribute to exceptional customer service and environmental conservation, consider applying today to explore the career opportunities with Yorkshire Water.


    If selected, pre-employment checks, including a Basic Disclosure Check by a third-party, will be conducted before employment commencement. Some roles may require security vetting such as Counter Terrorist Check or Security Check clearance.

    All positions involve a medical questionnaire and further assessments as needed.

    Yorkshire Water supports equality, diversity, and inclusion, upholding respect for all individuals, welcoming candidates irrespective of various backgrounds.

    Yorkshire Water reserves the right to close positions earlier than the deadline, urging interested candidates to submit applications promptly.
