ETP Operator

To ensure efficient and compliant operation of the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) including the MBBR system, treating wastewater generated by printing & packaging processes. Maintain quality of treated water to meet discharge norms, optimize chemical usage, ensure minimal downtime, and maintain sustainability & environmental compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate, monitor, and maintain the ETP including MBBR units: aeration, media carriers, biofilm growth, etc.
• Monitor influent and effluent water quality: BOD, COD, TSS, pH, oil & grease, color, etc.
• Control and optimize the process parameters of MBBR – dissolved oxygen, hydraulic retention time, media fill, etc., to achieve required treatment efficiencies.
• Manage chemical dosing (coagulants, flocculants, pH adjusters) as required, ensuring safety and cost efficiency.
• Conduct regular inspections of pumps, blowers, diffusers, aerators, mechanical & electrical equipment in the ETP/MBBR.
• Carry out preventive / predictive maintenance of equipment (pumps, motors, blowers, valves, etc.).
• Maintain and update operational logs, shift reports, consumption of utilities (power, chemicals), alarms, breakdowns, etc.
• Ensure compliance with all environment / pollution control rules & regulations (MPCB / CPCB / local bodies).
• Handle sludge management: thickening, dewatering, disposal, etc.
• Troubleshoot issues: biological upsets, mechanical failures, odor, scaling, etc.
• Coordinate with internal teams (maintenance, process, production) to resolve issues affecting ETP performance.
• Implement continuous improvement: reduce chemical costs, reduce wastewater generation, energy saving, etc.
• Maintain housekeeping, safety, and cleanliness in and around ETP area.
• Train and guide junior operators or staff working in wastewater treatment area.

Qualification & Experience

• Diploma / Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Engineering / Chemical Engineering / Civil Engineering / Mechanical / Biotechnology or related field (for Engineer level); for Operator level, ITI / Diploma or relevant field/willingness to learn.
• Experience of ETP operation, ideally with MBBR technology, in industrial effluent settings.
• Knowledge of wastewater treatment processes like biological treatment (MBBR, SBR, activated sludge), physical-chemical treatment, etc.
• Familiarity with discharge norms and environmental regulations in Maharashtra (MPCB, CPCB).
• Basic electrical / mechanical knowledge to handle pumps, blowers, motors.
• Ability to read & interpret process diagrams, P&IDs, instrumentation.
