What do you love about the industry?

The people! They care about customers and about making a difference. In an industry that is often unseen, utilities people are proud to keep gas, water and energy flowing. As we move towards Net Zero, our people will continue to make the difference and in turn they will benefit from a range of new opportunities and skills, which makes utilities an exciting place to be !
