From preparing utilities for summers with exceptionally low rainfall in the North, to shaping the UK's long term water supply resilience through water transfer, storage and recycling projects in the South - our clean water process team are involved in exciting projects that really mean something for the communities we serve.

We are a global organisation and are proactively pursuing "a one team" approach with our global colleagues.

What we're looking for:

• Want to be part of the solutions to water catchment, resource scarcity, treatment and emerging pollutant challenges.
• Ideally Chartered with demonstrable experience working in a clean water process specialism (e.g. design, science or operation).
• Have experience in, or are looking to learn, on site testing techniques to help us improve existing asset performance (e.g. jar testing).
• Enjoy working collaboratively in a team setting, and want to be part of a growing & nurturing UK and global team.
• Are passionate about applying innovation along with industry best practice to deliver the best results for the water sector.
