Run the Show:
Start up/shut down pumps, blowers, agitators, membranes, UV reactors, filter presses, etc.
Monitor gauges, SCADA screens & control panels—adjust valves and dosing pumps in real time.
Quality Check:
Grab routine samples (influent, effluent, sludge) and do basic phys-chem tests (pH, TSS, COD, chlorine).
Log readings in the system and alert QA if anything’s off.
Preventive Vibes:
Perform daily walk-arounds: check for leaks, weird noises, clogs, chemical spill risks.
Crew up with maintenance to swap seals, clean screens, tighten fittings—stop downtime before it even starts.
Chem-Hustle:
Prep and feed coagulants, flocculants, dechlorinators per dosing schedules.
Track chemical levels, flag re-orders, and keep SDS handy for safety.
Safety & Compliance:
Follow SOPs, lock-out/tag-out for safe maintenance.
Keep PPE game strong—hard-hat, gloves, goggles, boots, etc.
Ensure plant operations meet environmental regs and discharge standards.
Data & Reporting:
Update daily logs: shift handovers, incidents, maintenance tickets.
Help prep weekly performance reports (flow rates, removal efficiencies, power usage).
