We have Operations Apprentice opportunities to join our Process & Pumping department at Yorkshire Water and be a part of helping Yorkshire Water to provide the best service to our customers. Could this be you?

What we do:

Everyone has an idea of what a water company does. Here in Yorkshire, we make sure that over million people living in the region and the millions of people who visit our region each year, can rely on our services, and have clean and safe drinking water on tap and that their wastewater is taken away. But for us, it’s so much more than this.

We look after communities, protect the environment, and plan to look after Yorkshire’s water, today, tomorrow 24/7, 365 days a year. We provide essential water and wastewater services to every corner of the Yorkshire region, and play a key role in the region’s health, wellbeing, and prosperity.

New environmental legislation, unprecedented levels of investment and changing expectations from customers means that this is an exciting time to discover opportunities within the water industry. Process and Pumping, within the wider Wastewater part of the business, plays a key part in how we plan to meet the changing expectations of customers and regulators.

With no two days the same, our Process and Pumping Operators ensure that our hundreds of above ground assets (our treatment works and pumping stations) across Yorkshire are working as they should, by working on both proactive and reactive jobs. Our Operations Apprentices will work with teams across Yorkshire to learn about this vital role within our business and will join one of our Process and Pumping teams upon successful completion of the apprenticeship.

You may be working at the coast, in the Dales, or anywhere within this beautiful county, but wherever you are you will be working with friendly colleagues in a fast paced and dynamic environment.
