About the Role
We have a great opportunity for a Process Technician to join our team covering water production sites, reservoirs, and pumping stations across Southwest London.

You will work in all weather conditions carrying out a range of tasks including planned preventative maintenance of equipment to support plant operations.

Key responsibilities include operating plant and equipment used in groundwater treatment to meet strict drinking water standards, performing cleaning, basic maintenance, routine checks, and fault-finding. You will monitor, collate, and report data to ensure statutory and regulatory compliance, undertake health and safety and security checks, report hazards and incidents, and make areas safe. Accurate fault reporting and recording of work and asset information using a field laptop is required. You will also receive chemical deliveries, ensuring correct checks and paperwork are completed, provide technical assistance and guidance to new starters and colleagues, and actively participate in team meetings, safety briefings, and company communications.

Joining Thames Water now means becoming part of an organisation committed to building a greener future by tackling climate change, minimising environmental impact, and reducing our carbon footprint.
