Water Treatment Operator/Technician

Make a real impact on the environment with this hands-on role in a team that keeps it fun

About the role:

We are seeking a Water Treatment Operator to join our growing engineering team in a full-time capacity. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being outdoors, takes a practical approach to work, and can think on their feet to solve problems.

You'll be involved in the operation and maintenance of mobile water treatment systems, support a variety of environmental remediation tasks, and play a key role in delivering meaningful outcomes on project sites across NSW and SEQ. While the role is primarily site-based, your designated office will be in Coffs Harbour.

It's a hands-on position suited to someone who's eager to learn, enjoys working with their hands, and values being part of a supportive, collaborative team.

What you'll be doing:

• Operating and monitoring mobile water treatment systems

• Collecting water and soil samples for laboratory analysis

• Performing routine maintenance and equipment checks on treatment systems

• Recording and reporting environmental field data

• Contributing to system improvements with support from the technical team

• Assisting site teams with tasks such as dewatering, soil remediation, and water treatment

• Engaging with clients and representing ENV in a professional manner

• Following all safety protocols, participating in inductions, leading toolbox talks, and maintaining safe work practices on site

What we're looking for:

You don't need extensive experience, but we're looking for someone with a solid base of practical skills and a genuine willingness to learn. Full training will be provided - we're more interested in the right attitude and potential. Ideally, you'll bring:

• Reliability and a strong sense of responsibility

• The ability to work independently across varied tasks

• Comfort working outdoors in changing site conditions

• Good communication skills to work well with both clients and teammates

• A mechanical mindset – you're curious about how things work and enjoy hands-on problem solving

• Physical fitness and a readiness to take on manual, on-site work

• A proactive, solution-focused approach to challenges

• Willingness to travel – most projects involve days away

• A full, unrestricted Australian driver's licence

• A current White Card (General Construction Induction)

Nice to have (but not essential):

While not required, any of the following would be an advantage:

• Experience in construction, mining, water treatment, dewatering, or environmental fieldwork

• Background in plumbing, mechanical, electrical, or similar trades

• Additional industry training or certifications (e.g. Confined Space, Working at Heights, etc.)

What we offer:

At ENV Solutions, we're proud of our supportive, down-to-earth team culture that empowers individuals to grow and succeed. You'll enjoy:

• Employment security in a full time role

• Friendly and skilled team who value your contribution and support your growth

• Access to ENV's wellbeing program to support your health

• Flexible working arrangements with RDO incentive

• The chance to work on innovative and meaningful environmental projects

• Phone, laptop and work gear/tools provided

• Travel allowance provided when working away/remote
