Water Treatment Operator

Job Overview

A well-established leader in infrastructure and environmental services is seeking a licensed Water/Wastewater Operator to join their team in a tight-knit, remote Northern Ontario community. This is a unique opportunity to step into a stable, high-impact role supporting essential public services while benefiting from strong long-term career growth, housing support, and additional financial incentives.

• Relocation support, including free furnished housing and biweekly allowance for living expenses
• Additional compensation through remote location allowances
