When you turn your tap for a glass of water or a bath, do you give a second thought to the thousands of people whose jobs make it possible?
Delivering high quality, safe drinking water will continue to be a priority for the future. Water is the key to virtually all living things, so why not choose a career that will make an important contribution to life itself.
Many of the jobs in the water industry are highly skilled and are in huge demand in a wide range of engineering, science and technology based industries.
There is an increasing need for skilled people to work in UK engineering and technology businesses so that the UK can compete successfully in the world economy.
Many employment opportunities exist to ensure there is continuous supply of clean drinking water to our homes and businesses and there is a sustainable network for the disposal of waste water.
The water industry needs a vast range of people - from service pipe layers to scientists! Managing water resources; ensuring the supply treatment and distribution of water; disposing of sewage; keeping pollution to a minimum…all requires the work of highly skilled people.
