Job Type: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced Head – Water & Utilities to take end-to-end ownership of large-scale campus water and wastewater infrastructure. The role will focus on ensuring the safe, reliable, efficient, and sustainable operation of an integrated water ecosystem of approximately 4 MLD, covering water sourcing, treatment, storage, distribution, wastewater treatment, recycling, and conservation.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on expertise across WTP, STP/ETP, RO, softeners, pumping systems, water distribution, water-quality management, and utility operations. The role requires particular focus on maintaining uninterrupted water availability for critical institutional and healthcare operations while driving compliance, sustainability, maintenance reliability, and cost optimisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end operation of the campus water and wastewater infrastructure, including an approximately 4 MLD integrated water ecosystem.
• Manage raw-water sourcing through municipal supply, borewells, tankers, and other approved sources.
• Operate and monitor WTP, filtration, chlorination/disinfection, RO, softener, and water-treatment systems.
• Ensure adequate treated-water storage and uninterrupted distribution across the campus.
• Monitor critical water-quality parameters including pH, TDS, hardness, turbidity, residual chlorine, and microbiological parameters.
• Ensure reliable 24×7 water supply to critical hospital and institutional operations.
• Manage water requirements for clinical areas including OT, ICU, laboratories, dialysis, CSSD, laundry, and other utility facilities.
• Operate and monitor STP/ETP systems, treatment performance, sludge management, and treated-water quality.
• Maximise the approved reuse of treated wastewater for flushing, landscaping, cooling/HVAC, and other non-potable applications.
• Manage raw-water, transfer, booster, domestic-water, STP/ETP, and flushing-water pumping systems.
• Maintain UG/OH tanks, sumps, valves, pipelines, and associated water-distribution infrastructure.
• Develop preventive and predictive maintenance programs for critical water and utility equipment.
• Establish adequate standby capacity, critical spares, and emergency-response plans.
• Maintain daily water balance and source-wise consumption monitoring across hospital, school, residential, landscaping, and utility facilities.
• Implement metering, leak detection, consumption benchmarking, and initiatives to reduce freshwater and tanker dependency.
• Lead water conservation programs covering rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, recycling, smart metering, and efficiency improvements.
• Ensure compliance with applicable water, wastewater, environmental, safety, and institutional requirements.
• Maintain operational records covering water consumption, extraction, tanker supply, treatment operations, quality testing, chemicals, sludge, maintenance, and inspections.
• Lead WTP/STP operators, technicians, plumbers, and utility personnel while ensuring appropriate 24×7 manpower coverage.
• Manage AMC/O&M vendors, OEMs, contractors, and specialist agencies and monitor performance against agreed SLAs.
• Prepare operational, maintenance, compliance, and management reports and drive continuous improvement.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 5+ years of relevant experience in large-scale water, wastewater, utilities, or institutional infrastructure management.
• B.E./B.Tech in Civil, Environmental, Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Strong hands-on experience with WTP, STP/ETP, RO, softeners, pumping, storage, and water-distribution systems.
• Experience managing 2 MLD+ water infrastructure, with 4 MLD or larger systems strongly preferred.
• Proven experience managing complex, integrated water and wastewater infrastructure rather than only building-level plumbing operations.
• Strong understanding of water-quality monitoring, treatment processes, pumping systems, and utility operations.
• Experience managing 24×7 critical utility operations with high availability and reliability requirements.
• Experience in hospitals, universities, residential schools, townships, hotels, large campuses, or similar institutional environments is preferred.
• Strong knowledge of preventive and predictive maintenance, breakdown management, and infrastructure reliability.
• Experience with water conservation, recycling, rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, and freshwater optimisation.
• Exposure to BMS/SCADA, automated water metering, utility dashboards, or smart monitoring systems is an advantage.
• Strong vendor, contractor, OEM, and AMC management experience.
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary utility teams and manage shift-based operations.
• Strong understanding of environmental, water, wastewater, safety, and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage emergencies and critical infrastructure issues.
• Excellent communication, coordination, documentation, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Hands-on, proactive approach with strong ownership of reliability, safety, sustainability, compliance, and operational cost efficiency.
