The company is marking the National Apprenticeship Week 2024 by offering the new roles, its highest number of roles ever advertised, alongside its 55 existing apprentices.

"It’s an exciting time for the water industry as we are offering the highest ever number of apprenticeship roles we have ever advertised and in a such a diverse range of roles.

"It's also important to recognise that apprenticeship programmes aren't just for school leavers because they can be used to help people take invaluable new steps in their careers, no matter what age they are, so we would recommend anyone who is considering an apprenticeship to apply."

Jobs will extend across the North East, ranging from maintenance, to water, people, customer and labs.
