Our Graduate Programme focusses on developing future leaders for Thames Water. As a new graduate, you will get the opportunity to gain real experience and professional development within a defined programme as well as working towards achieving professional qualifications.

Why choose Thames Water?

At Thames Water we have a real sense of purpose. This comes from providing London and the Thames Valley with the life-essential services of safe, clean drinking water and taking away people's waste. This provides unique challenges which require innovative solutions meaning no one day is the same as the next.

The recent turn-around in our performance has also given the company a new-found confidence and a great base to build on. Our operational performance is better than ever right now, we have the best ever water quality, best ever sewage works compliance and leakage down 24 per cent in the past four years. This success is down to our people and we must maintain this by ensuring the best people continue to work for us.

As the largest water and wastewater services company in the UK, we want to share our knowledge and shape the water industry's future. At Thames Water, means you are contributing to making a difference to people's everyday lives and building a sustainable long term investment for our customers and communities that we serve.

We invest around £1billion each year on improving our water and wastewater network - replacing Victorian infrastructure, and adapting to the needs of a growing population. This is more than any other UK water company. We have several major projects already in the pipeline, including our London Tideway Improvements programme and London Ring Main extensions.
