Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Northumbrian Water Group to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would recommend NWG, it's a fun place to work with great benefits, a good pension, decent pay and very friendly people
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Northumbrian Water Group?
Keep an eye out for apprenticeships that usually come up around March time, as that is how I got my role, other than that I would say try to do as much research on the role and NWG when you apply and just be yourself
