“I was work ready thanks to my course so I started applying early and began a seasonal post with the Canal & River Trust the day after my final exam. Weeks later a permanent position came up so I was in a great place to apply and was successful.
“I’m part of a new team concentrating on reservoirs in the Macclesfield and Peak Forest area – there’s no other team like it in the country! We check water levels, test water purity, survey the dams and do general maintenance. I use all the practical skills and knowledge I gained from my course.
“I can discuss my findings with top hydrologists, water engineers and ecologists within the trust and everyone is very supportive. I love every minute of my job!”
