What exactly is a Water Recycling Treatment Apprentice?
A Water Recycling Treatment Apprentice is all about how we treat poo and recycle it so it’s safe to go back into the environment.
You earn while you learn on this bespoke 2-year scheme. Throughout the first year, you’ll spend one week in four at a specialist training facility located in Peterborough. Here, you’ll meet a group of like-minded apprentices and build your knowledge on wastewater treatment.
When not attending training, you’ll spend most of your time with a mentor where you’ll be on the job learning and building your knowledge. Day to day, you’ll be able to get involved with our fascinating Water Recycling processes which includes screening, settlement and biological treatment. You will be working on Water Recycling sites across Lowestoft.
