When can I apply?
We are currently recruiting for our 2012 asset management graduate programmes.
The closing date for applications is 11 February 2012.
Are there any specific requirements for applicants, for example a particular degree subject or classification?
The Graduate Management Programme is open to applicants from any relevant degree course. Our minimum entry requirement is a 2:1, (or predicted).
If I'm a postgraduate or already have some work experience am I still eligible to apply?
We strongly believe that further education and/or work experience add value to an application, so we would encourage you to apply.
Does the package include anything besides salary?
Lots. You'll get access to our contributory pension and personal accident benefit schemes; private healthcare; 26 holiday days a year; and, if your job requires it, a laptop and/or mobile. However, we strongly believe it's not just about the salary, and our Graduate Management Programme also offers a number of intangible benefits, such as the opportunity to form invaluable networking relationships with both mentors and colleagues, along with excellent training and development opportunities.
If my application is successful, when would I start?
Applicants offered a place on the 2012 Graduate Management Programme will join the company in October 2012.
I'm still paying off my student loan. Can you help?
We offer Graduate Management Programme participants a £5,000 interest-free loan.
Where will I be based? Will I be required to travel?
During your time on the Graduate Management Programme, you will be required to work from any of our operational sites or key offices across the Anglian Water region and meetings and training courses are held across the region, so a willingness to be mobile is essential. However, we offer up to £2,500 in relocation expenses to assist with the cost of this.
What support will I receive while I am on the Graduate Management Programme?
Don't worry - you'll have a mentor who is a senior manager and a network of previous and current graduate trainees to support you. In addition to this the Graduate Programme Manager will act as your line manager for the duration of the programme.
Do you sponsor work permits?
Due to strict immigration requirements, we would only be able to sponsor a work permit where we meet the requirements set out by the UK Border Agency, which includes demonstrating that a resident worker can not be found in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where can I find out more about the UK water industry?
A good place to start is the Water UK website (http://www.water.org.uk). You could also look at the websites of our regulators ( http://www.ofwat.gov.uk, http://www.dwi.gov.uk and http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk).
