LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT

At Hafren Dyfrdwy, we’re passionate about delivering clean, safe water and caring for the environment across Wales.

A strong focus on compliance is essential, as you’ll help ensure our water treatment processes meet all regulatory and company standards.

You’ll champion health and safety by promoting consistent practices and supporting the implementation of company policies. Your input will be key in identifying and driving cost-saving initiatives and operational improvements. You’ll also assist with budget monitoring and preparation, support capital project delivery in collaboration with Asset Creation, and provide technical input both in meetings and on-site.

This role also includes providing cover for the team manager when needed and participating in the Hafren Dyfrdwy Production standby rota. If you’re passionate about operational excellence and want to make a real impact in the water industry, we’d love to hear from you.
