NI Water is marking National Apprenticeship Week by encouraging school leavers, graduates and people considering a career change to join them at its Entry Level virtual open evening on Monday 5th February 2024.
NI Water has 28 opportunities available in science, construction engineering, customer and intelligent operations, commercial contract management, Net Zero electrical engineering, geographic information systems (GIS), project management and also accountancy.
Successful applicants will receive an attractive reward package from day one including a competitive salary, structured career progression and fully funded qualifications. Some of the posts also offer subsidised driving lessons which will truly put you in the driving seat of your career.
NI Water’s Entry Level Coordinator Clodagh Patterson said: “We’re really keen for people to consider an apprenticeship with NI Water so we’re organising a virtual open evening for school leavers, graduates and people embarking on a career change to find out more about what we have to offer.
“The virtual open evening comes at the start of National Apprenticeship Week and is the perfect opportunity for potential applicants to meet some of our current apprentices and industry experts who will be happy to answer any questions and talk about what an apprenticeship with NI Water means.
“We’ve got apprenticeships right across the business including streams in science, engineering, finance and much more. NI Water has won the best apprenticeship scheme in Northern Ireland, not once but twice in the last year! It shows we have something really special here, something to be proud of.”
Andrew Cobbe from Belfast is a NI Water graduate trainee construction engineer.
Andrew said: “I worked for NI Water previously in the solution engineering team, but the graduate programme provided the opportunity for me to move into more of an engineering based role and to work on some of the biggest engineering projects in Northern Ireland.
“The role is a blend of working from home, working in the office and on site supervising the construction work taking place. I enjoy that part of the role because you’re out working with contractors and seeing what’s happening on the ground.
“NI Water’s a brilliant place to work because there’s lots of opportunities to progress upwards, as well as the opportunity move sideways into roles that are at a similar level like I’m doing to broaden your experience. There are also opportunities for further learning and professional development.
“I would definitely recommend NI Water to other graduates. It’s a brilliant place to work. There are loads of opportunities to work as an engineer on the most interesting and exciting water engineering projects in Northern Ireland.”
