We have an exciting opportunity for a Maintenance Project Engineerto join the Asset Delivery Engineering Maintenance Projects team at Yorkshire Water and be a part of helping Yorkshire Water to provide the best service to our customers. Could this be you?
What we do:
Everyone has an idea of what a water company does. Here in Yorkshire, we make sure that over 5.4 million people living in the region and the millions of people who visit our region each year, can rely on our services, and have clean and safe drinking water on tap and that their wastewater is taken away. But for us, it’s so much more than this.
We look after communities, protect the environment, and plan to look after Yorkshire’s water, today, tomorrow 24/7, 365 days a year. We provide essential water and wastewater services to every corner of the Yorkshire region, and play a key role in the region’s health, wellbeing, and prosperity.
New environmental legislation, unprecedented levels of investment and changing expectations from customers means that this is an exciting time to discover opportunities within the water industry. Asset Delivery Engineering Maintenance Projectsare a key part of how we plan to meet the changing expectations of customers and regulators.
The Engineering Maintenance Projects Team support the business in several key areas. Most important of which is to ensure any activity we technically plan adheres to current safety requirements. To allow this to happen the Maintenance Project Engineers will support most non-routine/complex activities by the provision of technical planning and so documenting the key deliverables and safety requirements for any work to be undertaken. The current strategy is to reduce reactive repairs and move towards a more proactive approach. To support this our Maintenance Project Engineers will create small, focused campaigns of maintenance which may be a combination of routine and non-routine, proactive and reactive tasks.
Often because of an aging asset base our Maintenance Project Engineer's will have to use their engineering knowledge and experience to define the most effective solution based on factors such as cost and mean time to repair. Where the repair falls outside of the teams scope the Maintenance Project Engineers will advise on the scope of potential Capital requirements.
