Join Yorkshire Water: Where Your Military Skills Find a New Purpose
Members of the Armed Forces community bring a wealth of transferable skills, experience, and leadership to employers across the UK. At Yorkshire Water, we're proud to be a recognised Armed Forces-friendly employer and signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant. We know that military service develops people who thrive under pressure, solve problems, lead teams, and deliver results, often in challenging environments.
If you're ready for your next challenge, why not continue serving communities in a different way by helping deliver one of life's essentials?
Your service has shaped who you are. Now let it shape your next chapter at Yorkshire Water.
Why Join Us?
Every day, we provide essential water and wastewater services to more than 5.4 million people across Yorkshire. But our role goes beyond keeping taps running and wastewater flowing. We protect the environment, support local communities, and help ensure Yorkshire can thrive for generations to come. With major investment across our business, new technologies and exciting environmental challenges to solve, there's never been a better time to build a career in the water industry.
How We Support the Armed Forces Community
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Guaranteed Veteran Interview Scheme
We actively encourage veterans to apply for our roles and offer a guaranteed interview to candidates who meet the minimum requirements of the position.
Careers That Match Your Skills
Military experience develops highly sought-after skills including leadership, teamwork, planning, problem-solving, adaptability, and decision-making. Whether your background is operational, technical or leadership focused, there's a place for those skills at Yorkshire Water.
Support for Reservists
We recognise the valuable contribution made by members of the Reserve Forces and are proud to support employees who continue to serve alongside their civilian careers. As a Reservist, you'll have the flexibility to attend training days, weekends and annual camps while continuing to enjoy your employment benefits.
Development and Career Growth
We invest in our people through training, mentoring and development opportunities, helping you build a successful and rewarding long-term career.
A Forces-Friendly Employer
We want Yorkshire Water to be one of the best places in the UK for veterans, reservists, service leavers, and military families to work. We understand that transitioning to civilian life and starting a new career can be challenging. Through our Armed Forces Network and strong veteran community, you'll be supported by people who have been where you are and are always on hand to offer guidance, support, and advice.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
At Yorkshire Water, we're creating an environment that helps individuals successfully transition from military service into civilian employment. This isn't just a place to find a job after leaving the Armed Forces, it's a place where you can build a rewarding and lasting career.
Ready for Your Next Chapter?
If you're a veteran, reservist, service leaver, or member of a military family, we'd love to hear from you. Register your interest today and join our Armed Forces talent community. While we can't guarantee an immediate role, but we’ll actively consider your skills and experience for current and future opportunities across our business.
