WWS FSC Technical Assistant in Exeter, Devon

on 24 March 2020

Fun and relaxed atmosphere

Working in the WWS team is very different to drinking water. I worked across two different sites and everyone was extremely friendly. understanding and relaxed. Management are keen to help you to work efficiently and productively and are constructive in their comments rather than critical and all of them are willing to get stuck into a job, no matter what 'level' of employment you are at. The hardest part of the job is mainly the publics perception of SWW, but this is something they are working very hard to make better. South West Water is a family, and you can choose to live and breathe it if you get to know everyone and work to the best of your ability at the same time.

Great Job - Woeful Salary for the industry

Very positive and interesting place to work. SWW are more than happy to invest time and money in training etc for the right people. The only downside is that the salary is way below the industry average nationwide

Dont trust them

I worked for SWW for six years as a catchment Operator, Running and maintaining the sewage treatment works. I loved my job and was a good employees. Sadly during my time I had to suffer verbal abuse from an employee on multiple occasions regarding mental health issues as my mother was in hospital suffering from this . Myself and the team made a number of verbal complaints to management but these were ignored . During an incident of abuse I was was involved in a scuffle with the protagonist and suspended for 4 months and subsequently sacked . Despite providing statements and witness accounts all proving my innocence. South West water didn't not want to know . The other guy didn't even get a warning and kept his job. Abusive and agressive behaviour if all perfectly acceptable at South West water as long as you don't make a written complaint.
