Job Overview
A well-established leader in infrastructure and environmental services is seeking a licensed Water/Wastewater Operator to join their team in a tight-knit, remote Northern Ontario community. This is a unique opportunity to step into a stable, high-impact role supporting essential public services while benefiting from strong long-term career growth, housing support, and additional financial incentives.
If you’re looking for more than just another operator role - and want to be part of something critical to the community - this is worth a closer look.

- Operate and optimize municipal water and wastewater treatment systems

- Mechanical aptitude with hands-on troubleshooting ability
- Valid driver’s license and openness to relocating to a remote community
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Long-term stability with a recognized industry leader
- Meaningful work supporting critical infrastructure for an entire community
- Clear growth path with opportunities to advance your certifications and career
- Relocation support, including free furnished housing and biweekly allowance for living expenses
- Additional compensation through remote location allowances
Schedule & Work Environment
