What you'll do

Your main duties will include:

• producing clear reports and engaging presentations, and effectively communicating technical information in a succinct way

• assisting the Science team with day-to-day operations and various projects to ensure we utilise our assets in the most efficient way
• optimising our drinking water treatment processes to produce the best water quality for our customers.

What you'll need

You will be studying towards a science, environmental, engineering or maths-based subject.
