At HWM we design and manufacture monitoring and telemetry equipment for water, wastewater and gas networks, together with telemetry AMR and facilities optimisation products. Our primary focus for over 30 years has been clean water and network distribution system monitoring, however in the last few years we have expanded into new sectors which include gas, water and electricity meter consumption, gas network monitoring and sewer, river, and flood monitoring. Our solutions have had a significant impact in helping our customers save time, effort, natural resources, energy and cost.
HWM-Water Ltd is a Private Limited Company and wholly owned subsidiary of Halma Plc, a UK based business listed on the London Stock Exchange and a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. Each of the 40+ international companies owned by Halma is dedicated to the development, manufacture and marketing of products that are used to protect lives, or improve the quality of life, for individuals and businesses worldwide.
HWM Graduate Engineering Scheme:
At HWM we believe our ability to deliver great technological solutions lies within our people. Finding and nurturing great talents is one of our key objectives. The HWM Graduate Engineering Scheme is aimed at finding and developing talents to become the HWM technical leaders of tomorrow. The scheme is focused on providing the graduate engineer with a comprehensive understanding of key design principles and disciplines available in HWM, through rotations in different teams and different assignments over a 2-year period; rotation will include assignments in the electronic engineering team, firmware software development, design assurance and application engineering.
The scheme will also give the opportunity to work and interact with other HWM business functions. At the end of the 2-year period, the graduate engineer will be offered a Junior Engineer position in one of the various engineering functions, depending on performance. The Role: As HWM Graduate Engineer you will be part of the HWM Engineering team and will report to the relevant functional manager, depending on the rotation phase; the first rotation will be in the design assurance department.
Main Tasks:
Taking on responsibility for product electronic designs and prototyping.
Develop + test solutions to problems to ensure product quality. Identify and recommend product improvements to improve technical performance.
