Infrastructure & Built Env: Hop in, the wastewater's lovely!!
Don't get me wrong, I know that it may not be as glamorous as
building space shuttles or as prestigious as being a doctor but
working in the wastewater industry does have its benefits. For
starters you are working in an industry that is long established,
technically demanding, and at the forefront of carbon reduction!
“Are you sure?” I hear you say…
Yes I am! The recent Biomethane project at Didcot Sewage
Treatment Works, a joint venture between Thames Water, British Gas,
and Scotia Gas Networks, is a landmark carbon reduction project
that is due to revolutionise the utilisation of waste products.
The project is the latest step in an ongoing initiative by
Thames to reduce it's carbon footprint and add to the £15mil a year
of energy they already produce. Most of that currently goes into
running the assets within Thames' region and this is the first time
they will sell the energy produced back to the National Grid.
With an increase in workload and jobs becoming more abundant the
future of the UK's water and wastewater industry looks very bright
indeed. Many of the clients we speak to on a daily basis have
confirmed that the back end of 2010 and onwards should see a very
significant rise in this type of groundbreaking project, and as a
result job opportunities!
At ARM we are entrenched in
the industry and have contacts throughout the various Utility
Companies, Consultants, Contractors, and Design and Build
companies. We have a wealth of experience of helping both contract
and permanent candidates find work and have wide scope of roles
available.
So now is a great time to polish that CV, iron a shirt or two,
shine your shoes and give us a call whether you are looking to get
back into work or looking to progress your career within the
sector.
