All our people are essential in achieving our net zero targets and creating a more resilient North West.

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.

You will be entrusted with graduate-level responsibilities and spend the balance of your time working alongside an established finance team of over 120 employees, who have a great track record in delivering strong financial results.

You’ll develop your understanding of how our critical finance function supports United Utilities in helping life flow smoothly for our seven million customers across the North West. You will gain opportunity to work with and gain experience in financial accounting, management accounting and business decision-making.

As your internship progress there will be substantial scope to take on additional responsibilities as you gain more experience.

Don't worry, we won't throw you in at the deep end. You'll have mentors and managers with you as you progress through your placement and support you as you work towards your personal development goals.

**What we are looking for**

When you join our Intern Scheme you'll receive a good salary, and you'll also be eligible for a bonus of up to 7.5%.

You get 26 days holiday to take during your placement, and at our fantastic Lingley Mere site we have an onsite gym, coffee shops and other great facilities. And while access to an award-winning pension scheme might not be top of your priorities right now, responsible employers like us make sure you get one anyway - you'll pay 5% in to your pot and you'll get an extra 10% from the company. And that's not the only way to save, as you'll be able to buy company shares as part of the employee share buy scheme.
