What's in it for you:

Generous holiday allowance with the ability to buy and sell annual leave for added flexibility.
Competitive company pension scheme.
Training and development within the role (Monitoring the Water Environment NVQ Level 2).
Access to thousands of discounts and vouchers through Pennon Perks.
24/7 support with our Employee Assistance Programme.

Our core values, which are essential to our success, are:

Be Rock Solid - Build trust and be trusted. Be the one we all look to and can depend on.
