Careers

We support schools in highlighting potential career paths for students.

Many of our jobs require STEM skills but there are just as many jobs needing other skills to support our water supply and sewage treatment operations. 

We welcome the opportunity to talk to your students about all our careers.

We can come to you...

We visit on most days throughout the school year, delivering a range of services from a short school assembly to classroom learning.

With each visit, we design a programme to tie in with your objectives and class teaching.
