Work type: We know that you have a life outside of work and want to help you get the right balance for you. Our assets are operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and deal with a range of biological substances. The role is working an average of 37 hours per week, working a 12-hour day, based on a 4 on, 4 off work pattern (2 days, 2 nights, 4 off), with an 18-day rest period every 7th shift week, therefore flexibility outside of working core hours is essential.

Everyone has an idea of what a water company does. Here in Yorkshire, we make sure that over 5.4 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.

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. Bioresources are a key part of how we plan to meet the changing expectations of customers and regulators.
