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. No prior experience in the water industry is required; we welcome applications from candidates outside the sector who bring fresh perspectives and ideas. This essential front-line role ensures the smooth operation of our water treatment works, maintaining supply to customers and protecting the environment. You will work outdoors 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, safety, and security checks, and promptly report hazards, near misses, and incidents. Accurate fault reporting and recording of work and asset information using a field laptop is essential. You will also receive chemical deliveries, ensuring correct checks and paperwork, provide technical assistance 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.
