Job description

A well-established leader in infrastructure and environmental services is seeking a licensed Water/Wastewater Operator to join their team in a tight-knit, remote Northern Ontario community. This is a unique opportunity to step into a stable, high-impact role supporting essential public services while benefiting from strong long-term career growth, housing support, and additional financial incentives.

If you're looking for more than just another operator role - and want to be part of something critical to the community - this is worth a closer look.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Operate and optimize municipal water and wastewater treatment systems
• Monitor plant performance and make real-time process adjustments
• Perform sampling, testing, and maintain accurate operational records
• Support preventative maintenance and troubleshoot equipment issues
• Ensure full compliance with Ontario regulations and safety standards

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• Dual licensing (Water + Wastewater) is a strong advantage
• Experience working with treatment processes, pumps, valves, and SCADA/control systems
• Mechanical aptitude with hands-on troubleshooting ability
• Valid driver's license and openness to relocating to a remote community

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Long-term stability with a recognized industry leader
• Meaningful work supporting critical infrastructure for an entire community
• Clear growth path with opportunities to advance your certifications and career
• Relocation support, including free furnished housing and biweekly allowance for living expenses
• Additional compensation through remote location allowances

  Full-time role (40 hours/week) with on-call rotation

• Occasional weekend and holiday coverage
• Active, hands-on position (walking/standing majority of the day)
• Ability to lift up to 55 lbs (25 kg)
• Mix of indoor and outdoor work in varying weather conditions
• May include confined space entry and ladder use
