Based in Uddingston near Glasgow, Daldowie Treatment Works is one of the largest plants of its type in Europe. For over 20 years the plant has focussed on creating wdf pellets from sewage sludge reducing environmental impacts as well as creating a new fuel source replacing the need to burn fossil fuels.
In this dual role, you’ll support the safe, efficient, and environmentally compliant operation and control of Daldowie Fuel Plant. This includes the reception, dewatering, drying, storing and control of the integrated liquor treatment plant.
Working with the Shift Team Leader and Senior Operator, you’ll ensure plant operation delivers the maximum financial contribution by completing routine production shift duties.

This will involve:

• Operating on 6 production units and associated dryer and LTP plant and direct plant-based duties
• Assisting in delivering optimal performance by reducing losses and maximising dryer evaporative loading
• Monitoring and controlling the operation of common plant and emergency services
• Responding to emergency situations and unprecedented occurrences (when required)
• Duties which encompass production, quality, sampling, thermal process and maintenance

In addition to Shift Operator duties, you’ll ensure optimum plant availability by providing rapid response to EC&I defects. You’ll also support the Lead Electrical Engineer and Electrical Engineer in routine EC&I work when shift operational demands allow.
