Your current basic salary will sit within our banding of £32,300 and £38,800 per annum depending on skills and experience. There are a number of ways for you to increase your salary including standby and overtime. We offer a great company benefits package, in a role with stability, ongoing training, and progression combined.

Every day is different, you will be working in all conditions carrying out a range of tasks, to ensure the essential functions for the Wholesale Water directorate can operate to maintain a fresh water supply to our customers. Although work is generated for you on a weekly basis, you will be managing your own time, giving you the freedom and flexibility to design your own working week; you will continue to be organized and proactive.
