About The Position

Vernova Purpose GE Vernova is accelerating the path to more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy, while helping our customers power economies and deliver the electricity that is vital to health, safety, security, and improved quality of life. Are you excited at the opportunity to electrify and decarbonize the world? Job Description What impact you’ll make: Starting pay will be determined based on the applicant’s current South Carolina Wastewater License status. Applicants without a license, regardless of current pay, will start at the Trainee rate (G24 / A17). Pay increases will be tied to obtaining the required licenses and certifications through the State of South Carolina. Due to current business needs, the extensive training required, and the length of time necessary to become certified in Wastewater Treatment, we will pursue a combination of internal promotions and external hiring. External candidates who already hold “Trainee” status through SC LLR will help us meet both current and future internal and external customer demands. Applicants already registered as trainees will receive first consideration. This is a Wastewater Treatment Operator Trainee position. The successful candidate must be committed to progressing through the certification levels (Trainee → D → C → B Operator). Progression from one level to the next typically takes approximately one year. Full progression from Trainee to “B” License (covering both physical/chemical and biological operations) is expected to take about five years. Advancement depends on individual initiative, including completing required education, training, and successfully passing a series of State-administered exams (through SC Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation).
