You're comfortable learning new systems — whether that means reading SCADA displays or running lab analysis on a complex biological treatment process — and you know how to document your work carefully so nothing slips through the cracks. Shift work, physical demands, and the occasional hazard that comes with operating a treatment plant don't intimidate you; you show up ready to problem-solve and help protect the community's water systems. You see this role as a launchpad rather than a landing spot, and you're ready to work toward your ADEQ certifications and advancement within your first two years.

At Team Gilbert, we hire innovative, forward-thinking problem-solvers who love what they do! In addition to possessing the ability to live out our core and functional values daily, candidates must possess the following requirements:

5 plus years of experience in public-sector wastewater treatment plant operations.
Must be able to work day, evening, and night shifts as required and overtime when necessary.
Valid Arizona Driver's License
ADEQ Grade 3 Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator certification at time of hire.
ADEQ Grade 4 Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator certification is preferred.
Any equivalent combination of experience and training that provides the knowledge and abilities necessary to perform the work.

This position requires a pre-employment background check, physical, and drug screen.

This position has been designated as a Medium work position that spends a majority of their workday in a plant and field environment, with exposure to chemicals, moving mechanical parts, electrical currents, and extreme temperatures.

The physical demands and working conditions information above is meant to provide a general idea of the conditions for this role.
