With nearly 10,000 dedicated colleagues, we're looking for more brilliant people who are eager to turn challenges into opportunities for a better future.

If you're excited to learn, and ready to make a real impact, we want you on our team.

The Apprenticeship Programme offers the perfect blend of personal and professional development, exposing you to the core of our business. Do you have a basic understanding of the principles of mechanics or enjoy maths, physics and design technology? If you enjoy working with your hands, fixing things around the house, or have a passion for DIY projects, then this programme might be perfect for you!

Our Electrical Maintenance Technicians are exceptional problem solvers. They ensure our critical equipment and assets (pumps, motors, control panels and instrumentation) remain in good working condition and quickly overhaul and repair them when needed to keep our treatment processes working effectively, allowing us to provide essential services to our customers around the clock.

Working alongside our electrical maintenance team you’ll undertake installation, testing, servicing, removal, replacement, maintenance, and repair of a range of equipment, sometimes complex, as part of planned preventative and reactive maintenance programmes. You will play a crucial role in creating an electricity generating environment that may use a range of fuels including gas, wind, and other renewable sources.

Every day brings something new in our ever‑evolving environment. We constantly review, update, and introduce new technologies, ensuring you stay adaptable to daily requirements. This dynamic setting offers you the chance to keep your skills sharp and up‑to‑date.
