United Utilities provides water and sewage services to seven million people across the North West of England. It's a big job and a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly for our customers. From operating our pipes and improving water quality, to embracing new technologies and safeguarding the local environment – whether you're in our head office or out on site, there's always plenty going on. Our internship programmes will give you the opportunity to learn first-hand how we make this happen.

We need fantastic people to enable us to deliver a great service to the public. We are committed to reaching and recruiting from every community and then supporting employees to achieve their full potential ensuring they feel valued and included, regardless of their gender, age, race, disability, sexual orientation or social background.

Role Overview

In the Engineering department the successful student will join a team working on real business projects, carrying out a variety of engineering tasks.

There is an opportunity to develop your hydraulic engineering skills whilst gaining real world experience working alongside technical specialists and operational engineers solving problems that could impact customers and the environment.

As a Hydraulic Engineering Intern you will be able to develop your hydraulics knowledge in some of the following areas: wastewater treatment, networks, reservoirs, river flood risk studies and geomorphology. Projects may include treatment work schemes, combined sewer overflows (CSOs), the design of pipelines and open channel arrangements for wastewater, water and reservoir infrastructure.

You will develop your experience and expertise in data gathering and the analysis required for hydraulic engineering design, as well as your knowledge of health and safety techniques and the regulatory environment - both of which are really important to us.

We will help you gain an understanding of the projects being undertaken by United Utilities and the methods used to deliver them. Specific tasks may be assigned during this time. You will be accountable for delivering these with the support of experienced engineers and your Line Manager.

During your Internship you may also be given the opportunity to visit some our sites. You'll see how we carefully produce clean safe drinking water and how we treat wastewater in order to release it safely back into the environment.

You will also get the opportunity to mix with our current graduates who can share experiences, tips, and guidance with you for the next steps in your career.

What we are looking for

  • United Utilities are looking for undergraduate engineers in their penultimate year of studying an engineering degree, or specialising in hydrological processes.
  • The successful applicant will have an interest in engineering in the water sector.

To apply you need to:

  • Have researched and have knowledge of United Utilities' engineering activities
  • Be working towards at least a 2:1 accredited bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline (i.e. Civil, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering) or specialising in hydrological processes
  • Be technically competent with good planning, organisational and problem-solving skills
  • Have good computer skills particularly in Microsoft Office
  • Be motivated and enthusiastic, an excellent team player, possessing ambition and drive
  • Possess good written and interpersonal skills and have the ability to communicate and influence across all levels
  • Be able to be comfortable working flexibly across a range of tasks and activities to deadlines as well as being able to prioritise your time

Benefits

If you want to join an FTSE 100 company that wants to disrupt the water industry and you want to make a positive change in the world we would like to hear from you.

We celebrate and support diversity and are committed to ensuring equal opportunities for both employees and applicants.

Due to the length of your programme being 3 months you will be engaged via our resourcing partner Reed Talent Solutions.

Internship Duration

3 months (Flexible on circumstances)
