Are you an experienced electrician who is looking to take the next step in your career within the water industry? Joining a friendly and supportive team, you'll help look after our sewage treatment works, maintaining the highest standards for customers.

This is a really exciting challenge for an Electrical Technician to be a part of a high-performing and dedicated Electrical, Mechanical and Instrumentation (EM&I) team to cover our sewage treatment sites across the Yeovil and Taunton area.
