Smart Sewer Operations & Assurance Engineer
-
Turn smart-network data into practical action
-
Improve the reliability and performance of a rapidly growing sensor fleet
-
Build stronger assurance across the connected-device lifecycle
Help shape the future of smart sewer operations. Use data, technology and engineering insight to lift device reliability, strengthen operational assurance and turn emerging risks into action.
About the role
As our Smart Sewer Operations & Assurance Engineer, you’ll keep a growing fleet of connected devices performing at its best. You’ll monitor asset health and program data, track performance against KPIs and service levels, and make sure faults, incidents and data issues are quickly understood, escalated and resolved.
Working across Operations, field teams, technical specialists and vendors, you’ll coordinate investigations and remediation from first alert through to effective resolution. More than fixing individual issues, you’ll look for patterns, identify root causes and translate your findings into preventative actions that reduce repeat incidents and improve reliability.
You’ll also strengthen quality assurance, commissioning and stage-gate controls across the device lifecycle. By building practical standards, clearer escalation pathways and repeatable assurance practices, you’ll help the program scale without compromising performance, data quality or operational confidence.
About you
You’re an engineering or technical professional who knows how to get connected assets working reliably in the real world. You bring experience across IoT, telemetry, instrumentation, remote monitoring or technology-enabled infrastructure, along with the ability to diagnose faults across devices, communications, data and operational systems.
You interpret performance data, investigate incidents and turn technical findings into clear corrective action. You’re comfortable managing competing priorities, monitoring KPIs and service levels, and taking ownership of an issue until it is genuinely resolved.
Curious, accountable and proactive, you don’t wait for problems to grow. You identify trends early, ask the right questions and build practical controls that make performance more consistent. Just as importantly, you communicate clearly, work confidently across organisational boundaries and bring field teams, operational stakeholders and vendors together around the solution.
Your engineering qualifications will be put to the test and combined with practical experience will be key to your success.
