"My role is Technical and Performance Coordinator for five municipal wastewater treatment works and a sewage sludge incinerator in Northern Ireland under PFI Omega. Through this role, I am responsible for the continued compliance and process optimisation of these sites and provide a key link between site operations and the wider technical team. ​My day to day role can differ greatly, however falls under three key areas; Compliance Monitoring, Making Performance Visible and Technical Excellence. ​Through compliance monitoring, I must ensure all environmental (EPA) consents regarding discharged effluent to source, are maintained and targeted. This role can vary from sampling different water sources and testing for key indication parameters to designing input sheets which capture and log data against critical targets. "​
