Women are underrepresented in some of these roles, and weâre committed to changing that. If youâre reading this and wondering if an apprenticeship is right for you, hereâs the answer: it is. Donât let outdated ideas about who belongs in certain jobs hold you back. Apprenticeships are for anyone with curiosity, drive, and a willingness to learn. If that sounds like you, weâd love to see you apply. At Scottish Water, youâll find a supportive network of women and men whoâve got your back. Whether youâre out in the field, in the lab, or in the office, youâll be part of a team thatâs here to help you grow, succeed, and feel like you belong - because you do. The not-so-small print Weâre accepting applications until midnight on Sunday 6 April 202 5.   There will be some fun (no, honestly) online assessment activity during late April. Interviews will happen during May. And weâre aiming to get all our new apprentices started on the 4 August.   For more information on our apprentice programmes and applications please visit our website : www.scottishwater.co.uk/apprentice    Start your career in Scotlandâs Water Sector  Interested in learning more about apprenticeship opportunities that make a real difference?

If youâre interested in this job, but donât tick all the boxes, apply anyway We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So donât rule yourself out  Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. Weâre very used to making adjustments, so please donât be afraid to ask.  As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, itâs important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you donât already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.  Finally (finally), candidates who havenât submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You wonât need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted. Weâre here to help. Ask us anything at SWRecruitmentScottishWater.co.uk Â
