What you'll do

Our dedicated team travel across the whole Wessex Water region, carrying out plumbing inspections at properties and advising commercial and household customers how they can protect their drinking water.

We are a small team of six working within the Compliance department and work very closely with water quality, public health, supply scientists and distribution teams.
