Who we are

"I believe that we are part of the lifeblood of this region. We should be enabling our communities, our region to prosper, grow, and build a resilient water future."

We’re focused on doing the right thing. We’re helping to clean up the nation’s rivers. We’re enhancing the environment for everyone. And we’re part of a critical industry for our society. This is your chance to join us and help to change our world for the better – in a big way.

We provide our communities with the fresh water that they need to keep life flowing. But just as crucially, our Wastewater Treatment team treat and recycle 700 million litres of wastewater at our 368 treatment works every single day. To maintain this vital cycle, we make water safe enough to be returned to rivers, the sea and ultimately, people’s homes.

Our Asset Management team have a big part to play too. They boost the resilience of our network to reduce pollution and leakages – and increase the reliability of this vital service.

There’s huge scope to make a difference here. If you have strong ideas and the talent to see them through, you’ll enjoy autonomy and support every step of the way. You’ll get to develop and flex your skills in an organisation that offers the scale to make a lasting impact.

Water for life is our purpose

To provide water for life to enhance health and wellbeing, protect and improve the environment and sustain the economy is our reason for being. And this purpose unites every single one of us because it’s so important and so vital.

We rely on water for everything. Without water, life as we know it would be impossible. And yet we know that challenges lie ahead. Our population is growing fast, and climate change is bringing greater risk of drought and flooding. Together we aim to find solutions and deliver a sustainable, high-quality water and wastewater service, today and for decades to come. If you share our passion, join us and you could too.
