About the job
They found a Mississippi in the settling tank. That is the red-eared slider turtle, which now lives in a terrarium on the site. However, the finds in the settling tank are not the real reason why working at the wastewater treatment plant is so exciting. Working in the laboratory, in the workshop, with the technology, in grounds maintenance... a truly all-round craftsperson job.
We are looking for an uncomplicated, cheerful, diligent person who understands silly jokes and fits into our small team.
