WWTP Technician

Qualification:

• Minimum education: D3 in Chemistry. (A degree in Chemical Engineering/Environmental Engineering is a plus.)
• At least 2 years of experience in clean water treatment, industrial wastewater management, or plant utilities.
• Understand WTP/WWTP processes, water chemistry (organic/inorganic), and stoichiometry for chemical dosing (coagulants, flocculants, antiscalants, biocides, etc.).
• Able to interpret laboratory data and process trends for operational optimization.
• Familiar with clean water/wastewater quality standards (related government regulations) and safety practices.
• Proficient in basic instrumentation (pH meter, turbidimeter, DO meter); knowledge of SCADA/DCS systems is a plus.
• Willing to work in shifts if necessary.

Job Description:

• Manage daily operations of the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and/or Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to ensure water quality meets applicable standards.
• Optimize treatment processes including coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and advanced treatment (e.g., RO/UF) as required.
• Monitor water quality parameters (pH, TSS, COD, BOD, ammonia, free chlorine, conductivity, etc.) and prepare regular reports.
• Plan and execute preventive and corrective maintenance for equipment (pumps, blowers, dosing systems, instrumentation).
• Develop SOPs, conduct root cause analysis for quality deviations, and recommend process improvements.
• Ensure compliance with government regulations and standards, including reporting to relevant authorities.
• Coordinate with related departments (Production, EHS, Utility) to support water availability and wastewater management.
• Guide and train operators on safety, 5S, and operational compliance.
