We have an exciting opportunity for a Graduate position in the Technology function at Yorkshire Water.
What we do: 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. We look after communities, protect the environment, and plan to look after Yorkshire’s water, today, tomorrow 24/7, 365 days a year.
THE ROLE:
The Graduate Programme is a two-year programme offering up to four placements within the Technology team; on these placements you could be learning about Cloud, Operational Technology, AI, Data or Security. In your placements, you could be working on projects, following both waterfall and agile delivery methodologies, working in the service or infrastructure teams to make sure our systems remain operational, the security team to make sure they are secure or working in the architecture team to design the future and drive how Yorkshire Water will achieve our vision.
You don’t need to have a technology degree, but you will need a keen interest in technology and how it can enable the business.
Where you’ll fit in:
* Undertake placements in the different teams that make up the Technology function, such as Architecture, Change, Infrastructure and Operations, Data and Security
* Develop your technology knowledge and business skills; we expect our Technology Future Leaders to move into junior tech leadership roles such as Junior Project Manager
* Work as part of a larger team to deliver solutions to business problems; some of the roles that you might work in are as a project analyst, operations specialist, PMO analyst, data governance specialist, security specialist
* For your duration on the programme you will be assigned a line manager and a mentor from within the senior tech community
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES: We recognise that each of our graduates will have different needs and ambitions; therefore, our programme is designed to meet those individual needs so that you can shape your future career the way that suits you.
REQUIREMENTS:
* An interest in technology, and how it can be used to solve business problems - there is no expectation that you will be able to code
* Security vetting – Yorkshire Water will facilitate this for successful candidates
* Enthusiasm and a drive to succeed
* A driving license is desirable (with a maximum of 6 points) as the role will require travel - reaching regional destinations for programme and role activities is a must
