United Utilities Reviews

Pros

I started on a temp contract back in April 2010 (I was only 19!), I was made Perm in the October 2010. Since then I've had ample opportunity to move around experiencing many different teams. Since you learn many transferable skills, you can always move around to strengthen your core skills, my friends have all been on that journey and then suddenly you land yourself in a team that you just know fits perfectly for you. I've now been in Commercial for 3 1/2 years and wow it's sometimes challenging, but it's a rewarding challenge. I've had the opportunity to complete educational courses and for this I'm glad I can say I continue to work for UU. Our Director is very approachable and so is every member of management including senior management, this also including the CEO. They all say hello in passing. This makes working for UU feel more like a family, I've gained many friends for life. On a night together we always have a time to talk about what's going on in work. This tells me that we all enjoy it, not many people want to talk work whilst out socialising (Pre-Covid!). Overall, if you want a job for life sign up for the jobs page. All my friends always ask me how to join and some have been successful, keep trying and like I said with it's diverse work force a perfect job will soon appear.
