Scottish Water is starting a recruitment campaign to hire 60 apprentices across the country.
The utility company is launching its biggest ever drive for modern, technical and graduate apprentices, from Castle Douglas in the south up to Shetland in the north.
Opportunities are available in project management, engineering, water treatment, wastewater treatment, electrical and mechanical, science, property and business administration.
The launch of the campaign has been timed to coincide with Scottish Apprenticeship Week, which runs from 6 to 10 March.
Scottish Water is one of only eight businesses, and the only utility, in Scotland to have achieved the Investors in Young People – Platinum standard, making it an ambassador for employing young people.
Linda Brown, strategic resourcing manager at Scottish Water, stated: “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.”
There is no upper age limit to the programme, with opportunities available on a fixed-term basis, ranging from 18 months to five years. They also come with a "generous" starting salary and additional benefits.
