Wastewater Operator

Do you have energy and curiosity, we'll teach you the rest

Are you outgoing, have drive, technical understanding and desire a daily life where you both use your head and your hands in close collaboration with your colleagues? Then you could be the new colleague we are looking for in wastewater operations at Favrskov Forsyning.

We are primarily looking for the right person: You do not need experience with working at a treatment plant. You may have a crafts or technical background or come from industry, production, process or other technical operation.

Your daily life with us

As a wastewater operator you help ensure that our six treatment plants, 200 pump stations and about 1,000 km of sewer mains function every day. You will have a varied workday, where you will handle both fixed tasks and the challenges that arise along the way. You must:

• Monitor and optimize the daily operation
• Troubleshoot and handle technical challenges
• Carry out preventive maintenance and minor repairs
• Document your work and follow your tasks through to the finish
• Collaborate with colleagues to find good and durable solutions

Your profile

We expect that you can recognize yourself in most of the points below

• Are energetic, curious and keen to get started
• Thrive with both independent tasks and collaboration with colleagues
• Work in a structured way and take responsibility for your tasks
• Share your experience with colleagues and contribute with suggestions for improvements in daily operation.

You will be part of a team

Good wastewater operation is not an individual discipline. With us you become part of a team where we help each other, share knowledge and bring our different fields of expertise into play. You will receive thorough onboarding, good development opportunities and freedom with responsibility in daily work.

A job that makes a difference

Favrskov Forsyning consists of three companies, where Favrskov Forsyning A/S owns the two subsidiaries Favrskov Spildevand A/S and Favrskov Affald A/S. All companies are owned by Favrskov Municipality.

Our goal is to deliver a better world for future generations. With focus on sustainability, supply security and health we solve tasks within waste, stormwater and wastewater.

At Favrskov Forsyning we offer exciting and meaningful tasks in a company where everyone is equally important. You get freedom with responsibility, flexibility and the opportunity to contribute to the green transition. We emphasize ongoing competence development and a work environment characterized by trust, openness and an informal tone – at the treatment plant in Hammel, located between Aarhus, Silkeborg and Randers.
