Role Purpose

We are looking for an experienced Water Resources Manager to take end-to-end ownership of the campus water and wastewater infrastructure supporting a MVA & All Is Well.

The role will be responsible for the reliable, safe and efficient operation of an approximately 4 MLD water ecosystem, covering raw-water sourcing, WTP, RO/softener systems, water storage and distribution, STP/ETP, treated-water reuse, rainwater harvesting, water-quality management and conservation.

The individual will ensure 247 uninterrupted water availability, particularly for critical hospital operations, while driving water efficiency, sustainability, compliance and operational cost optimization.

Key Responsibilities

1. Water Supply & Treatment
   • Manage the complete water supply and treatment cycle from source to end-user.
   • Operate and monitor WTP, filtration, chlorination/disinfection and associated treatment systems.
   • Manage raw-water sources including municipal supply, borewells and tankers, as applicable.
   • Ensure adequate treated-water storage and uninterrupted supply across the campus.
   • Monitor critical water-quality parameters including pH, TDS, hardness, turbidity, residual chlorine and microbiological parameters.
   • Ensure potable-water quality meets applicable standards and institutional requirements.
   • Manage RO, softener and other specialized water-treatment systems.
2. Hospital Water Infrastructure
   • Ensure 247 uninterrupted water supply to the 350-bed hospital.
   • Manage water requirements for critical areas including OT, ICU, laboratories, dialysis, CSSD, laundry and other clinical/utility areas.
   • Coordinate with Hospital Operations, Infection Control, Biomedical Engineering and Facility teams.
   • Maintain emergency water availability and contingency arrangements for equipment failure, power outages or disruption of primary water sources.
3. STP / ETP & Wastewater Management
   • Manage day-to-day operation and performance of STP/ETP systems.
   • Monitor sewage generation, treatment efficiency and treated-water quality.
   • Maximize reuse of treated wastewater for:
     • Flushing
     • Landscaping
     • Cooling/HVAC applications
     • Other approved non-potable applications
   • Monitor sludge generation, handling and disposal.
   • Ensure wastewater-treatment systems operate within applicable regulatory limits.
4. Water Distribution & Pumping Systems
   • Manage the complete campus water-distribution network.
   • Oversee:
     • Raw-water pumps
     • Transfer pumps
     • Booster pumps
     • Domestic-water pumps
     • STP/ETP pumps
     • Flushing-water systems
     • UG/OH tanks and sumps
   • Develop preventive-maintenance schedules for pumps, tanks, valves, pipelines and associated equipment.
   • Maintain adequate standby capacity for critical equipment.
5. Water Consumption & Efficiency
   • Establish a daily water balance for the entire campus.
   • Track source-wise consumption across:
     • Hospital

     • Landscaping
     • Utilities
     • Other facilities
   • Implement bulk and zone-level metering.
   • Identify abnormal consumption, leakages and system losses.
   • Develop initiatives to reduce freshwater consumption and tanker dependency.
   • Drive maximum feasible utilization of recycled water.
6. Sustainability & Water Conservation
   • Lead the campus Water Conservation & Sustainability Program.
   • Implement:
     • Rainwater harvesting
     • Groundwater recharge
     • Treated-water reuse
     • Leakage reduction
     • Smart metering
     • Water-efficiency initiatives
   • Establish water-consumption benchmarks for major campus facilities.

   • Ensure high uptime of all critical water infrastructure.
   • Maintain critical spares and emergency-response plans.
   • Coordinate with OEMs, AMC partners and specialist contractors.

• Knowledge of hospital water-quality and wastewater requirements.
• Experience with water conservation, recycling and rainwater-harvesting systems.
• Exposure to BMS/SCADA, automated water metering and utility dashboards.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a hands-on water and utilities professional who has managed large, complex institutional infrastructure rather than only building-level plumbing operations.

The candidate should be capable of independently managing a 4 MLD integrated water ecosystem, balancing the very different requirements of a residential school and a 350-bed hospital, while ensuring reliability, safety, compliance, sustainability and cost efficiency.

Preferred Experience Benchmark

Experience managing 4 MLD+ WTP/STP infrastructure in a hospital, large residential campus, university, township or similar integrated facility will be strongly preferred.
