Owen Irvine is a Water Utilities Apprentice with NI Water and is based in Portadown. Owen said: “My experience within Northern Ireland Water has been amazing, I definitely made the correct choice for me. The introduction/ bootcamp was very informative and covered all the parts I needed before going out to frontline, the coursework aspect reflects on what information is needed to carry out daily tasks, which benefits my day to day working. When carrying out coursework I always had support from my manager and merit skills, also the other apprentices were very helpful if I ever needed information.
“I would recommend Northern Ireland Water to anyone looking for an apprenticeship, firstly the earning while you learn is a great factor as you get a qualification and a full time job without the student loans, secondly it is a great way to meet new people and gain friendships, if anyone was considering joining the company I would say 100% do it. I really do feel this has been the best choice for me and I’m very happy working within the business.”
