Join the Scottish Water family and flourish

Most people don't think too much about how clean water reaches their taps. Or what happens to their wastewater.

  • But Scottish Water does. In fact, it's all we think about.
  • That, and hiring our next modern apprentice superstar.
A real alternative to university

Work-based learning means hands-on experience, tailored to suit you. On our 2-4-year programmes you'll learn skills you can only get on the job. And most importantly, you'll be working towards a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ).

  • You may even want to stay on and pursue a career with us. (That, by the way, is a very real option.)
What will you be doing?


During this 4 year programme, you'll be learning everything you need to know about how we treat waste water and return it to the environment safely.

That means most of your days will be spent outdoors, on our operational sites - working as part of an expert and experienced team who will support you to develop your skills and knowledge and achieve a nationally recognised qualification.

This is your chance to learn as you earn, working with industry-leading teams to help deliver services that are essential to the daily lives of the people of Scotland.

What's in it for you?

Opportunity


We want you to challenge and stretch yourself - and we're here to help you make the most of your skills and abilities with first-class training, support, and a huge investment in your development.

Teamwork

The best bit? You'll be working as part of a team championing your success. They're here to help develop your skills, all the way to a nationally recognised qualification.

Confidence

We want you to feel confident and to share your ideas, because they help us work better. We respect and value peoples' differences. It's why people love working here.

What you'll bring


We're keen to meet applicants from all backgrounds with five National 4 or 5 Qualifications (English, Maths and Science are good, but not a dealbreaker) and a full UK driving licence (or learning, fast).
