Life at SES Water

Health, Safety and Wellbeing

This committee looks after the health and wellbeing of our colleagues and aims to reduce incidents across the business. We recently won the Gold Award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for health and safety.

We feedback to the business on actions that are needed and also receive updates and information to share with colleagues. Each department has a representative on this committee.

Environmental

This committee meets once a quarter to look at ways we can support the business in meeting our environmental pledges. Actions include reducing paper usage, water saving, fuel efficiencies and working with our production sites to improve Biodiversity.  We have achieved the coveted Biodiversity Benchmark at two of our production sites and were also awarded the Waterwise Office mark for our water efficiency at our Redhill office.

D&I

This committee focusses on raises awareness and ensuring an inclusive environment for colleagues and customers. We plan a range of events throughout the year to support initiatives such as International Womens' Day, Ramadan, Deaf Awareness Week, Pride and National Inclusion Week.

We actively promote inclusive leadership and ensure that our practices support every colleague feeling comfortable and supported to be themselves.

Sports and Social

We arrange events for the company to ensure that we have time for each other, to get to know people across the business and to have fun.  Previous events have included bowling, wine tasting, theatre trips and Summer BBQ.

Secondments

We like to grow and develop our colleagues, so once you've settled into the Company and are accomplished within your role, you may wish to explore other areas of the business where your experience can be used, while developing new skills and knowledge to help you in your base role or enable a move to another position within the Company. 

Internal Recruitment

If you're looking for a permanent change of role within the Company we encourage you to discuss it with your manager so they can help you to develop the skills you need to be successful. We’d also recommend speaking to the manager who is hiring so you understand the role in more detail. You won’t always be successful when interviewing internally, but you will have the opportunity to develop yourself so you can try again.

Training

Alongside the mandatory training and induction training you’ll receive there are various other internal and external training courses available to you, depending on the role you have. You may receive driver training for some of the specialised vehicles, or breathing apparatus training if you work with chemicals. You may have the opportunity to undertake training to become a people leader and you’ll always have the opportunity to try out new tasks within your role to develop your skills.
