Ready to own your future? At Scottish Water, our Modern Apprenticeships aren’t about sitting in classrooms all day. They’re designed to get you out there, hands-on, learning real skills from the start. You’ll earn while you learn, gain industry-recognised qualifications, and build a career that actually matters. Fresh out of school? Ready for a career switch? Whatever your story, we’ve got opportunities that challenge you, support you, and help you grow. Join our Waste Water Treatment team in Orkney Mainland from August 2026. What does a Waste Water Treatment Modern Apprentice do? As a Waste Water Treatment Modern Apprentice, you’ll be learning how we treat waste water and return it safely to the environment. You’ll gain hands-on experience alongside a skilled team, developing the knowledge and skills needed to protect Scotland’s rivers, seas, and communities. You’ll learn how to monitor and maintain treatment processes, from sedimentation to filtration. You’ll be trained to take samples, check test results, and log important data - helping to identify issues and improve how we work. You’ll also learn how to carry out regular maintenance, keeping equipment safe and reliable. From inspections to safety procedures, you’ll be taught how to work safely and protect the environment. It’s about more than meeting regulations - it’s about learning to go further, solve problems, and help Scotland’s water industry stay clean, safe, and sustainable.
