Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

This is an exciting time in E&M and Property Services, with the implementation of structure changes following a strategic review along with the merge with Property Services, these changes will bring fantastic opportunities for people to learn about different aspects of the work that Scottish Water does from maintaining our assets and buildings from a planned and reactive perspective.

What You’ll Need

We are looking for a candidate who demonstrates a strong commitment to learning and developing new skills, with the ability to apply these effectively in a fast-paced environment.

The successful applicant will have experience using Salesforce and FAB systems and be confident in managing a reactive workload while consistently adhering to agreed KPIs and SLAs. A customer-focused approach is essential, along with a genuine desire to deliver excellent customer service.

The use of multiple systems is a key part of the process therefore user experience of Salesforce and FAB are essential for this role.

You will be a strong team player with a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, supported by excellent communication and organisational skills.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

A few final things worth knowing…

  • Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If you’re interested in this job, but don’t tick all the boxes, apply anyway! We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So don’t rule yourself out!
  • Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters!). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We’re very used to making adjustments, so please don’t be afraid to ask.
  • As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it’s important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don’t already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
  • Please note, Scottish Water takes the safety, health and wellbeing of our employees, colleagues and customers very seriously and as such you may be subject to Drug & Alcohol testing in line with our policy.
  • Finally (finally!), candidates who haven’t submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You won’t need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted.
