It is a thankless job. People don’t realize how important it is. I refer to us at the offensive linemen of public works. If we aren’t being singled out then we are doing our job.
This scares me. I just got hired as an operator and I have no idea what to expect when I walk into that compound. Last thing I want is to get other people’s poo on me. Or dirty water to splash on me 😬 I might have a change of heart and find something else to do.
Lol 😂 well ur definitely going to get dirty, I’m upgrading to a new sewer plant and I can definitely say you won’t stay clean for long 🤢 you’ll like it though 😉
I'm an wastewater operator remote in Alberta. best fucking decision I've ever made hands down. mind you just the other day shit hit the fan lol but thats rare most of your days are just taking numbers and making sure she's going smooth. also I've never made this much money in my life. I'm 40, I've had good jobs in my life time but this was life changing lol also would like to throw in if get on the right company they will pay for most if not alll your training and education.
my job is to give the permits to the owners of the WWTP to do the spillage in rivers or wherever they do it, in Spain I agree with everything this gentelman said, we have same issues with wipes, lots of money lost every year in pumps and so on thanks
They prefer a college degree but most of these facilities either train in-house or send you to specialized schools that train you in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, mechanical operations, safety, routines, and laws that pertain to the profession. This is how you gain your certification.
