What we do:

Everyone has an idea of what a water company does. Here in Yorkshire, we make sure that over 5.4 million people living in the region and the millions of people who visit our region each year, can rely on our services, and have clean and safe drinking water on tap and that their wastewater is taken away. But for us, it’s so much more than this.

We look after communities, protect the environment, and plan to look after Yorkshire’s water, today, tomorrow 24/7, 365 days a year. We provide essential water and wastewater services to every corner of the Yorkshire region, and play a key role in the region’s health, wellbeing, and prosperity.

New environmental legislation, unprecedented levels of investment and changing expectations from customers means that this is an exciting time to discover opportunities within the water industry. Process & Pumping are a key part of how we plan to meet the changing expectations of customers and regulators. 

The Chemical Delivery Team Supervisor (CDTS) plays a vital role in overseeing a team of Chemical Delivery Technicians (CDTs) responsible for the safe and compliant receipt of chemicals at Yorkshire Water’s wastewater sites. This role ensures that remote operations run safely and efficiently, supporting regulatory compliance and asset performance. The CDTS is accountable for managing team performance in line with the Talking Performance framework, providing appropriate support to achieve effective outcomes. The role also involves close collaboration with internal departments and external contractors to coordinate chemical delivery activities, helping sites maintain compliance with Environment Agency requirements under the WINEP (Water Industry National Environment Programme) drivers.

As our Chemical Delivery Team Supervisor you will

• Lead and support a team of Chemical Delivery Technicians to safely and competently manage chemical deliveries, ensuring strict adherence to company policies and procedures.

• Promote and uphold health, safety, and environmental standards, including compliance with Life Saving Rules, Stop Work principles, and safe working practices.
• Ensure team members demonstrate strong H&S behaviours, maintain competence for all tasks, and use tools, equipment, and PPE correctly at all times.

What skills & qualifications you will need:

• Hold a full UK driving licence to travel between wastewater sites as needed.
• Confidently use IT platforms including Microsoft Office to manage records, communications, and performance tracking.
• Demonstrate experience in leading small teams, with strong people management and coaching skills.
