Our internship programmes will give you the opportunity to learn first-hand how we make this happen.

**Role Overview**

United Utilities is committed to achieving integrated water management within the five counties of the North West of England, to benefit customers, society and the environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to gain more experience and understanding of how United Utilities is building capability to integrate the management of water at a sub-regional level. The business will need new processes, systems, and ways of working to adopt a more integrated approach, which will require individuals who have the right interpersonal skills to support this change. Ultimately, we want to be sector leading and demonstrate this to our regulators at PR29.

It is an excellent time to join the team as key deliverables such as the Greater Manchester Integrated Water Management Plan and Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP) are high profile within the business. It is also a fantastic platform to gain exposure to lots of teams within the Asset Management directorate and around the business as a lot of the team’s interactions is outward facing.

Skills you will develop include data analysis, interpreting data, report writing and internal and external communications. As your internship progress there will be substantial scope to take on additional responsibilities as you gain more experience and gain exposure to other areas of the team.
