Scottish Water is launching a recruitment campaign to employ 60 apprentices across the country.
The utility company is looking for people to take part in its modern, technical and graduate apprenticeship schemes.
Opportunities are available in project management, engineering, water treatment, wastewater treatment, electrical and mechanical, science, property and estates, and business administration.
The launch of the 2023 apprenticeships campaign, on Monday, has been timed to coincide with Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2023, which runs from March 6-10.
Scottish Water is one of only eight businesses, and the only utility, in Scotland to have achieved the coveted Investors in Young People – Platinum standard, making the company a leading ambassador for employing young people.
Linda Brown, strategic resourcing manager at Scottish Water, said: “We are launching our 2023 apprenticeships campaign during Scottish Apprenticeship Week, the perfect time to highlight how apprentices and organisations benefit from these trainee programmes.
“On our programme, we’ll help apprentices reach their full potential by giving them first-class training and mentoring. We'll invest in their development, and they’ll earn nationally recognised qualifications.
“Our apprenticeships are an example of Scottish Water’s purpose in action – to support a flourishing Scotland. They enable people from diverse backgrounds and abilities to gain work and life skills, whilst earning and thriving in their job. They also ensure that we develop the skills Scottish Water, and the wider Scottish economy, will need in the years to come.”
Andrew Hamilton, specialist consultant (recruitment), added: “At Scottish Water we are committed to youth employment, development and education and we place a lot of emphasis on developing the skills and people that a sustainable water industry in Scotland needs for the future."
The 2023 apprentice campaign is open to all ages and opportunities will be on a fixed-term basis ranging from 18 months to five years.
