Water Treatment Plant Operator Trainee will report to the Environmental Department Lead and will have a core range of duties which focus on water treatment in a mining environment. Other work elements will include sampling, minor maintenance, reagent inventory monitoring, and safety inspections. The plant does not require a certified operator. You will be part of a team that provides treatment, care, and maintenance to a growing number of inactive and/or reactivating mine sites in the private sectors. This is a new position. The base hourly wage range for this position is $24.00 - $27.00.
What You’ll Do:
The work described below occurs at a controlled mine site where safety is strictly enforced. You will:
-
Attend the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) on a regular schedule ensuring that systems and effluent remain within release parameters
-
Perform routine sampling of both process and designated environmental samples.
-
Deliver samples to the lab
-
Maintain reagent inventories

Perform daily inspection of system equipment including calibration of meters

Please note that this job description is not meant to be an all-inclusive statement of every duty and responsibility that will ever be required of an employee in the job.
What You Should Bring:
The WTP Operator Trainee role is designed for a responsible, hazard-averse individual who will take ownership of the process and be actively engaged with both TULLOCH and WTP owners to continually improve the reliability of the process to produce compliant water.
