** Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.
** How’s this for job satisfaction: at Scottish Water we look after Scotland's most precious natural resource. From source to tap, we’re guarding Scotland’s reputation for refreshingly pure water, and caring for our environment at the same time.
** What you’ll do
** You’ll help carry out a private septic tank service to domestic and commercial customers where our drivers act as ambassadors for us with these customers. The team operates across all areas of Scotland and utilise both rigid and articulated tankers removing sludge from various Wastewater Treatment Plants and Public septic tanks. You will ensure all work undertaken complies with all relevant Health and Safety Regulations, completing vehicle checks and inspections, liaising with fleet on aspect of vehicle maintenance, repairs, servicing, and MOT’s.

You will also ensure that all work is carried out in accordance with Scottish Water policies and procedures relating to sludge transportation.
** What you’ll bring
** We’ll get you fully up to speed on the technical bits of the job. You’ll bring strong communication skills and confidence working on your own. We are also looking for you to have the ability to ensure your work is delivered professionally, efficiently and on time, play a key role optimising Tanker usage for Scottish Water. Can plan and prioritise your work whilst maintaining a flexible approach to accommodate changing priorities and be able to build trust and credibility with customers who you interact with, being focussed on their needs and acting as an ambassador for Scottish Water.

Ideally, we would like you to be a holder of a valid CPC card and valid Cat C license.
** Looking out for you
** While the work we do is important, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. That’s why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance. This role operates on a 4 on 4 off shift pattern which includes a weekend shift premium. But you’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays).

And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take time off to volunteer in your community.  For your future, there’s our pension (the ‘know-what-you’ll-get-when-you-retire’ kind), and life assurance.
** The not-so-small print
** This role will be a Grade 3. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll join us on a starting salary of £28,830. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £32,850

If you’re interested in this role – or know someone else who might be - we’ll be accepting applications until midnight on 5th January 2026.We operate Balanced Hybrid working at Scottish Water and we encourage people to work half their time in a Scottish Water location.

Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Don’t worry - we’ll ask your permission before starting these checks.
** A few final things worth knowing…
** Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If you’re interested in this job, but don’t tick all the boxes, apply anyway!
