Turn Complex Wastewater Challenges into Real‑World Impact

At Solution Group, we don’t just treat wastewater for our clients. We actively solve some of the toughest industrial water challenges in the country. From dairy processing and rendering plants to large food & beverage facilities, we partner with customers who rely on us to keep mission‑critical systems running safely, efficiently, and in compliance.

We’re growing fast, and we’re looking for a Wastewater Operator who’s eager to take ownership, learn deeply, and make a measurable impact in an essential, hands‑on field. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys technical problem‑solving, isn’t afraid of a demanding environment, and wants to build expertise in industrial wastewater treatment with a company that invests in its people.

What You’ll Do

As a Wastewater Operator, you’ll be trusted with the day‑to‑day operation and health of industrial wastewater treatment systems. You’ll work both independently and as part of a skilled team, applying mechanical, biological, and chemical treatment principles to keep systems running at peak performance.

Your work matters! Your decisions directly support regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, environmental protection, and customer success.

Key Responsibilities

Operate and monitor wastewater treatment facilities during your assigned shift, ensuring compliance with all state and federal regulations
Use remote monitoring systems to control and optimize plant performance
Conduct routine inspections, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance to maximize up time
Perform equipment repairs and replacements while maintaining effluent quality standards
Collect samples and perform laboratory analyses to guide operational decisions
Support emergency and unplanned maintenance activities when needed

Provide input on inventory levels, tools, materials, and service needs
Collaborate on process improvements that increase efficiency and reduce operating costs
Contribute operational insight to budgeting, planning, and future improvements
Follow all safety, risk management, and PPE requirements in industrial environments

This is a role where your judgment matters, your skills grow quickly, and no two days look the same.

Required / Preferred Qualifications

1+ year of experience operating or maintaining a wastewater treatment plant or relevant industrial/mechanical experience
Wastewater Treatment Operator certification or the ability to obtain one within one year of hire (we support this)
Working knowledge of mechanical systems, biological and chemical treatment processes, or a strong willingness to learn
Comfort performing lab testing and using results to guide operational adjustments
Experience with preventative maintenance programs and basic computer systems (Microsoft Office, data entry, reporting)
Ability to read and interpret technical documents, drawings, and procedures
Strong communication skills and the ability to work with people at all levels
Safety‑focused mindset with an understanding of industrial hazards and controls

Physical & Schedule Requirements

Willingness to work a flexible schedule that may include nights, weekends, and holidays
Ability to climb ladders, lift up to 50 pounds, and work in physically demanding conditions
Comfort working around industrial equipment, chemicals, noise, and odor using appropriate PPE

We’re transparent: this is gritty, real‑world work and that’s exactly what makes it rewarding for the right person.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

Real Impact: Your work protects the environment, supports essential industries, and keeps communities running
Growth & Learning: Hands‑on exposure to advanced industrial wastewater systems with ongoing technical training
Career Path: Opportunities to expand certifications, deepen expertise, and advance as the company grows
Supportive Team: Work alongside seasoned professionals who value problem‑solving and continuous improvement
Competitive Pay & Benefits:

Health, dental, vision, life insurance
401(k) with company support
Paid time off
