Yorkshire Water searches for almost 100 colleagues to accelerate infrastructure improvement programme

Yorkshire Water is recruiting 90 roles in its asset delivery team, as it looks to accelerate delivery of its five-year £8.3bn investment programme. 

The roles will increase Yorkshire Water's capacity across its delivery, engineering, and project support teams.  

A significant portion of the roles are in project management for capital infrastructure improvements – a key focus for Yorkshire Water in this delivery period (2025–2030) and beyond. Project managers will be responsible for planning and overseeing important, large-scale infrastructure projects from start to finish.  

In the engineering arm of the business, there are a number of roles available, including project engineers; project technicians; reliability engineers; process engineers; process safety engineers; commissioning assurance engineers; and design engineers. 

It comes as Yorkshire Water looks to pick up the pace in its £8.3bn investment programme, which aims to improve infrastructure, and deliver better service for customers and the environment. 

Richard Stuart, director of asset delivery and engineering at Yorkshire Water, said: “Last year, we got underway with over 270 significant projects upgrading our water and wastewater infrastructure – from drilling boreholes to unlock new underground water sources to creating new wetlands the aid the treatment of wastewater. 

“We need to keep this momentum going, so that we can continue delivering for the environment and for our customers. That means bringing in a host of new, talented colleagues, who can help us to meet all of our ambitions, and our goal of bringing investment forward, and completing projects sooner, where we can.” 

The addition of 98 colleagues takes the total number of new recruits into Yorkshire Water, as part of the £8.3bn investment programme, to over 1,000.
